Selecting which Operating Panel to use
The Operating Panel offers all necessary control functions for normal operation.
Context
The controls provided by the Operating Panel are arranged in logical functional groups. This offers you clear and easy operation with fast access to key functionality. All the functionality provided by the SU90 system can be accessed using the trackball on the Operating Panel and the menu system shown in the display presentation.
The SU90 system supports three different operating panels. These are referred to as "Mk1", "Mk2" and "Mk3".
•  The Mk1 Operating Panel is connected to the Processor Unit with three cables. The dual interface cable provides power and serial communication. The USB interface cable is used to read the trackball movements. The Processor Unit must be fitted with a custom made interface board. A small commercial power supply is used to provide power to the Operating Panel. (The Mk1 Operating Panel is no longer provided with new sonars. This information is provided for legacy reasons.)
•  The Mk2 Operating Panel is connected to the Processor Unit using an Ethernet cable. The Operating Panel is provided with a built-in power supply.
•  The Mk3 Operating Panel is connected to the Processor Unit with a USB cable. A dedicated power supply unit is not required.
To select which operating panel to use, open the Operating Panel page in the Installation dialog box. The Installation dialog box is located on the Setup menu.
