g.
Select “Status…” from the menu (or press “1” on keypad).
h.
Select “Get Range” (or press “1” on keypad). This establishes
communication between the VR2Tx and the VR100-200 and
reduces the “talk time” necessary to communicate.
i.
Press the “MENU” button twice to move back to the
Transponding menu.
5.
Communicate with the VR2Tx again through VUE (see sections 3.3 and 3.4). Before continuing,
take a quick look at the number of detections and pings received listed in the receiver status
information.
6.
Offload the data that was collected during the test (section 3.9), creating a VRL file.
7.
View the data to verify that the data was stored and retrieved without problems. Instructions for
viewing data are found in the VUE manual.
8.
Begin another study (see section 3.8.1) to erase the data in the VR2Tx.
2.4.2
In-Water Test
Tests performed in water are almost identical to the in-air test explained above. The only difference is that
the tag should be positioned farther from the receiver – 5 meters is suggested. In-water tests are often
performed to establish an ideal range for the VR2Tx receivers in the environment in which they are moored.
Details of conducting a Range Test are found at
