Transceiver Installation
This dialogue box controls installation and un-installation of
transceivers. The dialogue box is accessed from the Install
menu. Prior to this, all echo sounder activity must be stopped.
When accessed, an opening dialogue allows you to either:
• Inspect the transceiver installations
• Modify the transceiver installations
• Cancel the operation
Every time the Transceiver Installation dialogue appears on
the display the echo sounder software performs a search for
transceivers. The ISA bus is searched for PC Transceiver
plug-in boards, while General Purpose Transceivers (GPT)
connected to the Ethernet interface are identified. The complete
transceiver list is then displayed.
Transceiver list
A single frequency transceiver occupies one entry in the list, and
a dual frequency transceiver occupies two. Each entry contains:
• transceiver type
• operating frequency
• unique identifier
• frequency channel number
• transducer type
The General Purpose Transceivers use their Ethernet addresses
for unique identification.
The PC Transceivers use their ISA bus parameters; IO address,
DMA channel and IRQ number for identification.
