Context
The software license is a 32 character hexadecimal string based on the hardware identifier (Hardware ID). This unique identifier is generated using information from key components in the computer. The software license is linked to the physical computer. You cannot move the SU90 system software from one Processor Unit to another unless you also request and install a new license.
In order to obtain a software license you must contact one of our dealers or distributors. You can also use the request form on our website, or contact our support department directly.
NoteOnce you receive your software license string(s), do not lose them. We suggest that you copy the information into a text file (for example Notepad), and add relevant information. Place the text file on the computer desktop, and make sure that backup copies are made.
When you work in the Installation dialog box, you must always select Apply to save the changes made on a page. You must do this before you continue working on a different page.
The following licensing options are available for the SU90 system:
|
• |
NetCDF: The SU90 system supports netCDF4, where the number refers to the version of the format. SONAR-NetCDF4 is a data and metadata convention for storage of data from active sonars in NetCDF4 formatted files, defined
by The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). Sonar-NetCDF4 consists primarily of a naming convention and a data structure within the NetDCF4 data model. |
|
• |
Simulator: The SU90 systems may include a built-in sonar simulator. This is a software program designed to simulate real echoes under different operating conditions. The purpose of the simulator is to enable training and troubleshooting even when your vessel is not sailing. |
|
• |
Extended range: The centre operational frequency is 26 kHz, but you can select any operational frequency from 20 to 30 kHz in steps of 1 kHz. This frequency range gives you an operating range of up to xxx m depending on the acoustic conditions. By adding a specific software license you can increase the maximum range setting to 150 to 10,000 metres. |
