The System is transmitting too slowly, how can I speed it up?
Remember that the WASSP System system must acquire twice the depth of a single beam

ping rate will need to be at least half that of a standard single beam sounder.

over half the current depth in metres. The optimal range is twice the current depth in metres.
The range control should normally be set to automatic (green digital display).
Other programs running at the same time as the WASSP System program consume processing
power and take processing time away from the WASSP System system, slowing down the
rate of transmission. For optimal performance, ensure the WASSP System program is the only
application running.
7.2
The system has stopped transmitting without operator
intervention. Why?
If time is taken from the system by another application for long enough, the WASSP System
may restart transmission in a number of seconds. The WASSP PC is a dedicated system and
should not be used for other applications.
If the system does not restart, try stopping and then starting the system using the MODE
button on the tool bar. If this does not work, try to restart the WASSP System program and the
transceiver. The most likely cause of this is a sudden power supply spike or drop.

When I press the Transmit button, nothing happens and there is no
activity on the WASSP display. How do I

x this?
First make the following checks of your WASSP installation:
•

seconds.
• Make sure the network cable is connected at both the BTxR and the WASSP PC ends
(unplug and re-plug to make sure).
• Check that the Processing Module application is running (look for the icon in the Windows
Taskbar at the bottom of your PC screen) and was running when you started WASSP. If not,
restart the WASSP GUI after running the Processing Module application
