2.2 COMMON APPLICATIONS
This section contains steps needed to perform common tasks on the VR100 receiver. The steps are
referenced to sections in the manual that contain more information on the topic.
2.2.1 Set up a channel to monitor a continuous pinger
A channel can be set up to monitor continuous pingers operating on the same frequency. All pingers
operating on that frequency will be detected, so normally an experiment uses a single continuous pinger
per frequency. Continuous pingers on other frequencies can be monitored on other channels. More detail
is given in section 4.3.1.2.
From the Main menu:
1.
Press the right selection button to enter the “Config” menu.
2.
Press “1” on the keypad.
3.
Select the desired channel number on the keypad, or use the arrow buttons to move through the list of
channels until the cursor is over the desired channel.
4.
Press the right selection button to select “Configure”.
5.
Press the left selection button to “Edit” this channel, or press the right button to “Accept” the channel
configuration.
6.
Use the arrow buttons to select “Cont pinger” and press the right selection button for “Next”.
7.
Enter the desired frequency in kilohertz and select “Next”.
8.
Enter the desired Blanking Interval and select “Next”. If the chosen blanking interval is outside the
recommended range, a confirmation screen appears to verify the blanking interval is the desired value.
9.
Review the information on the screen.
10.
Press the right selection button to “Accept” the configuration, or press the left selection button to
repeat the configuration process.
11.
Verify that the cursor is over the channel you just set up. If it isn’t, use the up/down arrows until the
cursor is in position or press the corresponding number on the keypad.
12.
Press the left selection button for “Set on” to turn this channel on. If you don’t want to turn the
channel on at this time, perform steps 11 and 12 at a future time.
2.2.2 Set up a channel to monitor a continuous sensor transmitter
A channel can be set up to monitor one continuous sensor transmitter. Other continuous sensor
transmitters are monitored on other channels. More detail is given in section 4.3.1.2.

1.
Press the right selection button to enter the “Config” menu.
2.
Press “1” on the keypad.
