8 If you want to check that the peripheral system is transmitting data to the SN90,
select
Monitor
.
The
Port Monitor
dialog box provides one text box for incoming messages (
Rx
Data
), and one for outgoing messages (
Tx Data
). Use these boxes and your
knowledge of the data communication to investigate the datagrams. The
Port
Monitor
dialog box is a tool for debugging purposes. It is neither required nor
intended for normal operation of the SN90.
9 Type a custom name to identify the interface in other dialog boxes.
10 Select which datagram(s) you want to import from the sensor.
11 If relevant, specify a dedicated talker ID.
12 Select
Add
to save the new sensor interface you have defined.
The sensor interface is added to the
Installed Sensors
list on the
Sensor Installation
page.
13 At the bottom of the dialog box, select
Apply
to save your settings.
14 Continue your work in the
Installation
dialog box, or select
OK
to close it.
Further requirements
On the left side of the
Installation
dialog box, select
Sensor Configuration
. Define the
priority of the datagrams, and set up relevant configuration parameters.

Setting up the interface for course gyro input
In order to operate correctly, the SN90 requires input from a course gyro. In most cases
a suitable course gyro is already installed on the vessel. A global positioning system
(GPS) with a compatible output format can also be used. To select which sensors to
install, use the
Sensor Installation
page. The current heading is shown on the top bar if
you have enabled this in the
Display Options
dialog box.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• You have a vacant interface port on your Processor Unit.

• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The SN90 system is turned on and operates normally.
