Using the Ethernet Communications
Pathfinder systems supports an optional Ethernet output. These systems must be factory configured.
Ethernet can be used for following scenarios:
•
Send commands to the ADCP and receive responses on the CMD channel. The CMD channel is
used to connect to a Pathfinder system and control it using a two-letter command system and
must use port 1033. Use TRDI Toolz software to connect to this port using TCP protocols to con-
trol the Pathfinder system.
•
Send data from the Pathfinder to user equipment such as a PC or a data logging device. The data
channel is established over a UDP socket.
It is possible to output ensemble data in two ways:
1.
Send ensemble data to a specific destination IP and port number using TCP protocol.
2.
Send ensemble data to a network directed broadcast IP and port number using UDP protocol.
Using TCP Protocol
In the example below a TCP
PD0
stream was created on port 1034:
To be able to listen to this stream, you will need to create a TCP connection to the PathFinder DVL IP ad-
dress, here 192.168.1.100 through port 1034. This can be done in TRDI Toolz for verification.
