APPENDIX 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
5.1
– Hydrobox/Hypack or third party survey software Connections for use on 1 PC
All information between the Hydrobox system and the Hypack Survey software is interfaced via the
COM ports on a standard PC. Presently, all of the connection are accomplished via COM port cables and
up to 5 COM ports are required if all possible external devices are connected during the survey. The
information below details the individual COM port needs of both the Hydrobox and Hypack products:
5.1.1
Hydrobox COM Port Connections:
•
Hydrobox Sensor Interface – Full Duplex, 57.6KBaud, 8, 1, None fixed.
•
NMEA Interface – Full Duplex, User selectable baud rate, user selectable NMEA sentence. Input
used for NMEA GPS, output used for NMEA Depth.
5.1.2
Hypack Survey Software Port Connections:
•
NMEA GPS Interface – Half Duplex, User selectable baud rate, user selectable NMEA sentence.
•
NMEA Depth Interface – Half Duplex, User selectable baud rate, user selectable NMEA
sentence.
•
Hydrobox Data Interface – Half Duplex, 57.6KBaud, 8, 1, None fixed.
When the Hydrobox and Hypack are used together, the NMEA output information from the Hydrobox is
provided via a null modem connection from one user assign COM port connection to another user
assigned COM port as shown in the attached drawing. To make full use of the capabilities of both
systems: a minimum of 5 COM Ports will be required. (3 for Hydrobox, 2 for HyPack).
The four COM ports (GPS data is needed for both applications) require a splitter cable to be used for the
PC connections. The loopback null modem serial cable should be connected as shown in attached
document.
