'0' for trigger A, '2' for trigger B, '4' for trigger C. The 1pps Timing Trigger is itself a separate trigger
input keyword, "OnePPSInputLine", where the variable is defined as: '-1' for disabled, '0' for trigger A
input, '1' for trigger B input or '2' for trigger C input. Do not identify the 1pps trigger as an input trigger
using the TriggerInputLine command. Only one Input and one Output trigger can be defined. Table 5-2
identifies the recommended trigger setting found in the SONAR.INI for this system. The software
programmable input triggers are not optically isolated. The triggers can sink or source a TTL/CMOS
compatible signal. It is recommended that the user consult EdgeTech Customer Service if a different
configuration is required so that this value may be updated and compared against the hardware
configuration to insure there are no incompatibilities.

5.8 Solid State Drive
This system has no onboard data storage. All data is streamed on the 10/100 interface to the Topside
computer or other network device.
5.9 Pressure Sensor
Included in the end cap is a 3000psi (2100m) pressure sensor. The sensor output is connected directly to
the SONAR processor for inclusion in the JSF datafile and is real time displayed in Discover and J-Star
software.
6. System Software
6.1 Timing Configuration
The SONAR.INI file is preconfigured to accept a NMEA timing string (ZDA, RMC, GGA, GLL, GGK)
via the network (TimeSyncSource=ZDA). As these messages appear asynchronously on the network, the
addition of a 1pps trigger is needed to ensure that SONAR is synchronized to the external timing
components. Network Based Time may be set without the use of a 1pps, but it will not have the same
