7.1.4
How do I open the
Options
window?
The
Options
window is accessed by selecting the
File
menu
(circled in picture at right) and clicking the “Options” button at the
bottom of the menu box (see arrow in picture at right). The
Options
window contains the following tabs: Display, Offload,
Export, Devices, and Other. These are described in detail in the
VUE manual.
7.1.5
I don’t want VUE to disconnect from the ASCENT-AR after 30
inactive minutes. How do I change that?
When no user activity occurs between VUE and an ASCENT-AR for 30 minutes, VUE will disconnect the
Bluetooth connection to conserve the release battery. If you do not want this to occur, open the
Options
window (section 7.1.4); select the Devices
tab and un-check the “Automatically close
inactive release connections after 30
minutes.”
7.1.6
What is the Release Test?
The Release Test is performed by the ASCENT-AR to verify
that the case is closed. If the case is not completely closed, the
“Failed open” warning will appear in the information listed in
the Receiver tab. An open case, even if it only slightly open,
will prevent the mooring lug from being deployed and provides a
high risk of allowing water to enter the case and damage the
release.
Clear a failed Release Test by securely closing the case and then
click “Retest” while the ASCENT-AR is in communication with
VUE. The Release Test should change to “Passed”.
