• | Operation The Operation function controls the operating mode of the ME70 system. You can set it to Normal, Replay or Inactive.
|
• | Ping The purpose of the Ping function is to enable or disable the ME70 transmissions into the water. Such transmissions are often referred to as "pinging".
|
• | Ping Mode Use Ping Mode to control how often the ME70 shall transmit its energy into the water. For scientific operations, choose Interval, and select a Ping Interval value according to the survey requirements.
|
• | Ping Interval The Ping Interval function is used when Ping Mode is set to Interval. The Ping Interval function permits you to choose the time (in milliseconds) between each transmission ("ping").
|
• | Record Record allows you to record echo data. You can save the data to the hard disk, or onto an external storage device. The data files can be played back on the ME70 system. You can keep the recorded files for future reference, training purposes and calibration.
|
• | Tx Power Use Tx Power to increase or decrease the output power. The output power is selected from predefined steps.
|
• | TX Mode TX Mode is used for increasing and decreasing the frequency of transmitting acoustic energy (“ping”) into the water.
TX Mode can be set to active, which enables you to adjust the number of output pings, or passive in which case you cannot
make these adjustments.
|
• | View Beam Mode View Beam Mode enables you to see all settings for the current beam mode. It opens the Beam Mode dialog box
