Prerequisites
The Simulation mode is an optional function. In order to use this functionality, a dedicated software license is required. Contact you local dealer for more information.
How to open
This function is opened from the Operation menu.
Description
The SU90 system offers several operating modes.
|
• |
Inactive mode is provided to pause the operation temporarily. |
|
• |
Normal mode allows the SU90 system to transmit ("ping") through the water, and to receive the echoes. |
|
• |
The Replay mode allows you to play back previously recorded data. |
|
• |
The Simulation mode allows you to use the built-in sonar simulator program. |
Select the middle of the button to open a small menu with the available options.
TipWhen you set the SU90 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.
Details
Inactive
Select this option to pause the operation. Neither transmission nor reception takes place. When the SU90 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 SU90 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.
Replay
This mode allows you to play back previously recorded data. In Replay mode the SU90 system is not able to operate normally. Neither transmission nor reception takes place. For this reason, the SU90 system is inactive during playback.
Replay File
The Replay File dialog box allows you to choose the echo data file(s) you wish to play back.
Simulation
The SU90 system supports a built-in sonar simulator. This is a software program designed to simulate real echoes under different operating conditions. The simulator generates synthetic echo data based on predefined scenarios. The purpose of the simulator is to enable training and troubleshooting even when your vessel is not sailing.
NoteWhen the built-in simulator is started, the Transceiver Unit is automatically turned off. This means that no actual sonar operations can take place while you use the simulator.
Select Simulation to start the built-in sonar simulator program.
Select Simulator Setup to define the operating scenario for the simulator.
