Selecting Normal mode
In order to transmit ("ping") you must set the ME70 system to Normal operating mode.
Context
The Operation function controls the operating mode of the ME70 system. You can set it to Normal, Replay or Inactive. Normal mode allows the ME70 system to transmit ("ping") through the water, and to receive the echoes.
The transmission ("pinging") from the ME70 can be turned on or off. The Ping function enables or disables the ME70 transmissions into the water. Once pinging is On, use Ping Mode to choose how often the ME70 shall transmit. Use the Ping Interval function to choose the time (in milliseconds) between each transmission ("ping") when the Transmission Mode is set to Interval.
Procedure
1 Open the Operation menu.
2 Set Operation to Normal.

The Ping function enables or disables the ME70 transmissions into the water. Once pinging is On, use Ping Mode to choose how often the ME70 shall transmit. Use the Ping Interval function to choose the time (in milliseconds) between each transmission ("ping") when the Ping Mode is set to Interval.
4 Set Ping Mode to Interval.
5 Select either side of the button to choose a value.

Specify the ping rate that has been defined for the survey.
Result
The ME70 system is now transmitting acoustic pulses ("pinging") into the water.
