6.6.1 Examples – How to configure sensor in Smart Sensor Terminal mode
Use a terminal program e.g. Tera Term or Hyperterminal, refer chapter 3.3 for communication setup.
In the following examples several configuration changes are shown. The command Stop is recommended to avoid
output strings while configuring the sensor. If the sensor has started to transmit data when the user tries to
communicate, it may take a while before the command response is sent from the sensor.
Example 1: typical full output
//Press Enter to start communicating with the sensor
//press Enter
Stop
//Wait for ack #. Repeat if necessary
Set Passkey(1)
Set Mode(Smart Sensor Terminal)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Sleep(Yes)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Polled Mode(No)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Text(Yes)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Decimalformat(No)
//wait for ack #
Set Ping Number(150)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Burst Mode(No)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Single Interval(No)
//wait for ack #
Set Start Distance(0.5)
//wait for ack #
Set Cell Size(1.5)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable ZPulse Operation(Yes)
//wait for ack #
Set Sound Speed(m/s)(1500)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Fixed Heading(No)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Tilt Compensation(Yes)
//wait for ack #
Set Activation X-axis(1+3)
//wait for ack #
Set Activation Y-axis(2+4)
//wait for ack #
Set Enable Forward Ping
//wait for ack #
Set Interval(600)
//an error message is sent from the sensor if the interval is too short
Save
// wait for ack #
Reset
// the sensor will restart with new settings
Comments to example 1: This is a typical sensor setup for use in seawater with free space for all four transducers. All
parameters except the once controlled under User Maintenance are enabled. For User Maintenance settings see
Example 3.
