Spread Sensors
Firmware for Spread Sensors depends on your type of trawl and on the distances they measure.
About Spread Sensor Firmware
There are two generations of Spread Sensor firmware. The first generation (V1) measures one or two distances and the second generation (V2) measures one, two or three distances, with an improved communication link.
Important: Do not mix V1 and V2 Spread Sensor firmware on a same installation or the sensors will
not be able to send the spread distance.
Important: V2 can only be installed on A1 PCBA with rev7 or higher.
If using a single trawl you need:
- V1 or V2 firmware with single distance measurement.
- A Master firmware for the Master Spread Sensor.
- A Slave firmware for the Starboard Spread Sensor.
- V1 firmware with dual distance measurement or V2 firmware with dual or triple distance measurement.
- A Master firmware for the Master Spread Sensor.
- A Slave firmware for the Starboard Spread Sensor.
- A second Slave firmware for the Clump Spread Sensor.
If using dual trawls you need two sets of sensors: one set of sensors for a single trawl installation and one set of sensors for twin trawls with triple distance (see About Spread Sensors for illustration).
