The INS monitor is covered in Appendix I
5.10.1 System Status
The Status report provides a detailed list of the current system parameters in both the sonar head
and the SIM, including the current version of installed firmware and serial input messages.
Figure 99: Status Message
The upper area reflects the sonar head status; the lower area reflects the SIM status. In the SIM
Status area, the real-time serial input data is shown. In the Head Status area, the received SIM
message, which contains the serial received serial data, is shown. The Head Status Response time
(µs) reflects the time required for a message (such as a time request) to go from the head to the SIM
and return. The Response time can be very useful in ROV installations to determine any latency
issues with the communication between the ROV and the SIM.
It is quite normal that the SIM messages, in
the Head Status, differ slightly from the
Serial port sensor data (in the SIM Status).
The Head Status reflects what is received at
the head, from the SIM.
