4.2.2 Serial Port Connections
There are three RS-232 serial ports provided on the 6205s Sonar Interface box. COM1 and COM2 have
been configured for high speed and high accuracy). COM3 is configured for standard RS-232 serial
connections. Typical latencies for the high speed/high accuracy ports are less than 100us, whereas the
standard serial port has up to 100ms.
These serial ports are provided to intake the navigation, heading, and attitude (roll, pitch, and heave) data
from the supporting sensors. The CONFIGURING
COM PORTS section of this manual has instructions on
how to configure them.
If the Rack Mount topside is being utilized, it can serve as a splitter for serial data. The output ports pair
with the serial ports located directly above them. These ports are unidirectional.
4.2.3 Hardware Connectivity
FIGURE 4-1 is a block diagram that illustrates interconnections between the 6205s Swath Bathymetry and
Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar Head, the 6205s-R Rack Mount Topside Interface, and all supporting
sensors. This illustration gives examples of three possible sensor configurations that are explained below.
