VEMCO – VR100 Manual 28 May 2018 48
3. Manual Scan – Lets you send a single search command by specifying the “listening” time for devices.
4. Hydrophone Power – View the various power levels at which the VR100-200 can transmit an acoustic
(or “talk”) signal. The asterisk (*) is shown under the current power setting. What strength this should be
is explained in section 4.4.1.4.
5. Remove Device… – Allows you to remove specific devices from the list. This option is only available
when a list exists.
6.1.3.2 Transponding options
Once you have devices in your list, on the Transpond menu, click Devices and select a device. The Transponding
options are made available.
1. Status
a. Get Health – reports slant range, estimate battery remaining, memory used, and tilt (see section
4.4.2). Health also reports temperature for the HR2 receiver.
b. Get Range – reports slant range (m), horizontal range (m), and depth (m). Depth is not available
for VR2Tx and HR2 receivers. See section 4.4.2.
c. Detections… – reports an approximate number of detections stored in receiver (see section
4.4.3). NOTE: For HR2 receivers, you can retrieve PPM, HR, or PPM+HR detections, under
each of the options below.
i. Total Detects… – displays the number of detections stored in the receiver since it was
last initialized and the memory was erased. Initialization can only occur while the
receiver is communicating with VUE software.
ii. Since Offload… – reports the number of detections stored in the receiver since the last
data offload to VUE.
iii. Since Marking… – reports the number of detections stored since the last mark was left
in the receiver memory.
d. Watch Table… – this table is setup using VUE and used to view the number of detections from
an individual tag that are stored in this receiver. The watch table numbers and the corresponding
tag ID codes can be exported from VUE as a .csv file. NOTE: The HR2 also supports viewing
the total watch table hits, reading the tag ID(s) associated with each entry, and reading signal
stats for each entry.
e. Pings… – displays the number of PPM pings detected; useful when trouble shooting in a noisy
environment.
i. Total Pings – displays the number of pings stored in the receiver since it was last
initialized and the memory was erased. Initialization can only occur while the receiver is
communicating with VUE software.
ii. Since Offload – reports the number of pings stored in the receiver since the last data
offload to VUE.
iii. Since Marking – reports the number of pings stored since the last mark was left in the
receiver memory.
f. Read Sensors – reports the receiver’s slant range, the temperature, the depth (VR2AR only), the
vertical tilt on the unit, and the horizontal range (VR2AR only).
g. Resume Sleep – ends communication session with this receiver. Receiver won’t communicate
again for a full ten minutes. The receiver will have a "-" next to its serial number in the list to
denote the fact that it is asleep.
h. F/W Version – shows the slant range and the firmware version.
i. Read Clock – Reports the current clock time of the receiver, allowing you to verify it is correct.
