Remote Control pages
The ME70 can be set up to operate as a "sensor" in a larger scientific system. Everything the ME70 do is then remotely controlled from another computer on the local area network (LAN). The Remote Control settings allow you to set up remote controlled operation. You define how the ME70 can be controlled from a peripheral system, and how the ME70 can export information to this and other systems.
How to open

Description
The ME70 Multibeam scientific echo sounder allows you subscribe to echo data and to control the operation from your own remote application. In this way you can create your own software for controlling the ME70 operations. Such operations may for example include start/stop pinging, changing ping interval, or start/stop data recording.
Note
In this context the ME70 Processor Unit is regarded as the "server". The ME70 program is the "server application". The program you make yourself for running on a local computer is referred to as the "client application".
The Remote Control parameters are located on three pages in the Installation dialog box.
•  Application Information
With the Application Information parameters you can control and monitor system-specific information. This is typically the name (ME70) and type of your product ("server"), as well as a an identification number.
•  As Server
You use the As Server parameters if you want to set up the ME70 Processor Unit as a server for client applications. A computer is installed somewhere else on the vessel to monitor - and control - the ME70 operations using a client application.
•  As Client
You use the As Client parameters if you want to set up the ME70 as a client in a network.
