How to open
To open, select this button on the Operation menu.
Description
The ME70 system offers several operating modes.
|
• |
Inactive mode is provided to pause the operation temporarily. |
|
• |
Normal mode allows the ME70 system to transmit ("ping") through the water, and to receive the echoes. |
|
• |
The Replay mode allows you to play back previously recorded data. |
Select the middle of the button to open a small menu with the available options.
TipWhen you set the ME70 system to Replay mode, select Replay File. The Replay File dialog box allows you to choose which file(s) to be used for playback. To control the actual playback, use the replay bar. The replay bar opens automatically at the top of the display presentation when you choose Replay mode.
Note that Inactive operating mode is not the same as Passive mode. While Inactive mode stops both transmission and reception, Passive mode will still allow the ME70 system to receive echoes. If you want to use passive mode, set TX Mode to Passive. The TX Mode function is located on the Operation menu.
Details
Inactive
Select this option to pause the operation. Neither transmission nor reception takes place. When the ME70 system is disabled with this function, it will stop. The current echoes are removed from the display presentation.
Normal
Select this option to start normal operation. The ME70 system will transmit ("ping") the acoustic pulses into the water and receive the resulting echoes. The information is processed by the Processor Unit, and the resulting data are shown in the display presentation.
The ME70 system will transmit according to the currently selected ping mode.
NoteThe ME70 will transmit ("ping") only if Ping is set to On.
If you wish to establish a passive system (transmission switched off, but normal reception), use the TX Mode function. The TX Mode function is located on the Operation menu.
Replay
This mode allows you to play back previously recorded data. The Replay mode allows you to play back previously recorded data. For this reason, the ME70 system is inactive during playback.
TipThe Replay File dialog box allows you to choose the echo data file(s) you wish to play back.
