Configuring a PxPos as an ITI replacement
You can configure a PxPos sensor by means of the PX Sensor Configurator dialog box. The PxPos sensor acts as a replacement for Simrad ITI sensors, and it has different functionalities from the sensors in the PX family. A separate dialog box allows you to set up the measurements you want to measure and the communication channels these measurements will use.
Prerequisites
In order to configure a PxPos sensor, it must be connected to the computer by means of a configurator cable.
The PxPos sensor acts as a replacement for Simrad ITI sensors. Thus, you need an ITI receiver for using the sensor onboard your vessel.
Context
Catch monitoring sensors are delivered from Kongsberg Maritime readily set up with common default settings. In some cases, you may find that the default parameters do not suit your operational needs. Each individual sensor can be configured to specify its communication channel, which measurements to make and some other relevant operating parameters.
If your new sensor has already been configured, you do not need to repeat the configuration process to use it.
Procedure
1 Connect the sensor to the computer using the programming cable.
2 Double-click the desktop icon to start the program.
3 In the very first PX Sensor Configurator dialog box, select communication port and sensor type, then select Connect.
4 At the top of the dialog box, select the relevant type of gear.
5 On the gear illustration, select the location of your sensor.
The sensor can make the following measurements depending on the location you choose in the gear illustration:
•  ITI Height 1
•  ITI Height 2
•  ITI Spread COM 1
•  ITI Spread COM 2
•  ITI Spread Remote 1
•  ITI Spread Remote 2
•  ITI Depth
•  ITI Depth / Temperature
•  ITI Depth / Temperature Combi Remote 1
•  ITI Depth / Temperature Combi Remote 2
•  ITI Remote 1 False D/T
•  ITI Remote 2 False D/T
6 Select Program Sensor to transfer the chosen parameters to the sensor.
7 Disconnect the sensor from the interface cable and the computer.
