12.4 Advanced Functions
Advanced Functions provides the user with a menu of options for
saving data to and uploading data from the SONARstick TM . It also
allows for updating system firmware and managing files on the
SONAR
stick TM , and setting the date and time in the transmitter.
These options are discussed below.
•
System Config
System Config function allows naming, saving and loading
configuration files. (In Snapshot mode a configuration file is
automatically saved.)
- ‘Naming’ and ‘Saving’ allows the user to specify the name for a
configuration file and then save the file. The file will be automatically
named per the naming convention discussed earlier in this section
(example, 234_Config050614121633.ini) or the user can edit the
name of a file to be saved.
- ‘Loading’ allows the user to load a configuration file from a list of ‘.ini’
files. Note that files do not have to be ‘transmitter serial number
specific’, as they must be in Load Configuration.
•
Save Raw Data
Save Raw Data function allows the user to define the amount of Raw
Data to be downloaded. (In Snapshot mode a 5-minute Raw Data file
is automatically created.) User selectable options of 1, 5, 10, 30, and
60, 120 and 240 minutes are available. The files are automatically
named per the naming convention discussed earlier in this section.

Save Data History
Save Data History function allows the user the option of selecting the
amount of transmitter Data History to be downloaded. (In the
Snapshot mode only the last 24 hours of Data History is saved.)
- ’Decimation’ allows the user to determine the frequency of data
points to be downloaded. For example, the user can decide to
download all data (decimation None), every other reading (decimation
2), every 5
th reading (decimation 5) or every 10 th , 50 th , 100 th , 500 th , or
1000 th reading (decimation 10, 50, 100, 500, or 1000 respectively). In
most cases none is selected.

automatically named per the naming convention discussed earlier in
this section.
