Software installation and upgrades
Overview
The echo sounder is initially delivered with all necessary
software installed and configured. Software upgrades are useful
if your echo sounder fails, and you suspect a software error. An
upgrade is also required whenever the echo sounder software is
modified.
The computer should automatically detect the insertion of the
CD-ROM and open the Installation program dialogue box. If
this is not the case, you must manually run the Setup.exe
program on the CD-ROM’s root directory.
When the echo sounder software is upgraded, the software will
automatically detect the presence of General Purpose
Transceiver(s), but you will need to check that the correct
transducer(s) are enabled.
Whenever new echo sounder software is installed, you will need
to define all serial lines, transducer(s) and transceiver(s).
