Diagnostic test description

Header:

Sent by the sonar system (wet end) to tell the Processor what kind of

data format it sent, IGX for image data and ITX for normal digital data.

Data Type:

(same as Run-Type) sent by the sonar system (wet end) to tell the

processor this set of data is coming from which sensor.

Serial Stat:

indicates if the communication between sonar system and

Processor is normal or not.

Head Pos:

(Head Position) a number sent by the sonar system to tell the

Processor vertical sonar shooting direction. Valid number: 100-1300 (an angle
between 0 to 360 degrees).

Head Dir:

A value indicates vertical sonar scan direction: 0 for counter clockwise,

1 for clockwise.

Range:

Vertical sonar and echo sounder operating range. The operating range

for vertical sonar is 10m to250m. The operating range for echo sounder is 50m
to300m.

Sync Val:

a number that represents the level of the SYNC pulse from the sonar

head and echo sounder/Catch Sensor for every shot (approximately 800).

Data Bytes:

how many bytes the sonar system sent to the Processor for each

shot.

PRF:

milliseconds elapsed between the two consecutive interrogations for a

sensor. Usually the system interrogates the Echo Sounder every second and
Pitch/Roll data every 5 seconds.

Temp Val:

temperature value sent by the sonar system (coded).


Temp:

Decoded current temperature reading in Celsius or Fahrenheit units.


Depth Val:

Depth value sent by the sonar system (coded).


PSI:

a number sent by the sonar system to indicate the type of pressure sensor

installed in the system. 0: 1000 PSI, maximum displayed depth 686 meters. 1:
3000 PSI, maximum displayed depth 2059 meters.

Depth:

Decoded current depth reading.


Pitch:

Decoded pitch value.


Roll:

Decoded roll value.


CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4:

four catch sensor channels. 0: channel (sensor) disabled

or not receive any signal from this channel, 1: received stand by signal from this
channel, 2: catch sensor triggered.
