Configuring the Uplink Frequency and Power

Configure the settings of the communication link between the sensor and the vessel.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Communications page, then click in Uplink.

  2. Enter a frequency for the communication with the vessel. Default is 44,000 Hz.
  3. Drag the slider to change the power of the uplink signal.
    Note: A higher level of uplink power reduces the battery lifetime.

    • Sensor is far from vessel - e.g. more than 800 m depending on conditions, high depth
    • High level of interferences
    • Issues receiving data
    • Low SNR

  4. In Refresh Rate:
    • Fast: data are sent continuously
    • Medium: approximately every 4 seconds
    • Slow: approximately every 7 seconds
    We recommend to:
    • Set Fast if using the sensor as an echosounder.
    • Set Medium if displaying the echogram over 4 hours.
    • Set Slow to gain battery autonomy.
