Operating the Sensor

Select your com port and the sensor details (at time of power up) will load.

The current status of the sensor and transducer is given in the STATUS box. This shows green if all is well and red if action is required. Note: this updates when the sensor is scanning.

The following options are available:

Start

Press start to tell the sensor to start scanning.

Stop

Press stop to tell the sensor to stop scanning.

Abrade command

Press abrade to tell the sensor that the transducer has been abraded. Look out for the transducer status in the green Status box – this will tell you if your sensor needs abrading.

Reboot command

Press reboot to save the current settings and restart the sensor so it is ready to run with the saved configurations.
