Configuring the Uplink Frequency and Power
Configure the settings of the communication link between the sensor and the vessel.
Procedure
-
Go to the Communications page,
then click in Uplink.
-
Enter a frequency for the communication with the vessel. Default
is 44,000 Hz.
-
Drag the slider to change the power of the uplink
signal.
Note: A higher level of uplink power reduces the battery lifetime.
Recommended uplink powers Conditions Estimated battery life 33% Works for most conditions.
23 hours 100% - 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
- -
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.
