Using the Virtual Charger Room

You can display the fleet of sensors in Scala2 Virtual Charger Room, when sensors are connected to the Dock or trawling.

Tip: Refer to the Dock manual for more details about this product.
Note: Only the latest generation of Marport sensors can benefit from all the Dock features. A1 sensor tiles will only inform if the sensor is trawling or on deck (turned off).
Note: The Virtual Charger Room is compatible with single, twin, triple, quad and penta trawls.

Main page

To open the Virtual Charger Room, click Menu > Virtual Charger Room on the top left corner of the screen.

Each sensor that is part of the fleet appears on a tile. The tiles are placed according to the sensor location on the trawl, depending on the configuration that was made in the system configuration page.

To fit the view according to the width of the tiles click , or click to fit according the height.

When a sensor that has not been added to the system is connected to the Dock, it is displayed underneath the other sensors (1). Only the charging status appears. A notification (2) also warns the user that the sensor is not part of the system configuration. When disconnected, the sensor is not displayed anymore.

Note: A1 sensors will not be displayed.

Each sensor tile is composed the following way:
1. Node identifying the location of the sensor on the trawl.
2. Name of the application
3. If any, number of spare sensors. Click to show the other spare sensors.
4. Charging level
5. Access to the settings.
6. Remaining lifetime at the current state of charge.
7. Sensor status

The sensor is operating on the trawl. The sensor is out of water and is not connected to the Dock.

Notifications

When a sensor is connected to the Dock, the Virtual Charger Room is able to detect discrepancies between the system configuration and the sensor configuration. Notifications appear at the bottom of the page if the connected sensor is not part of the system configuration or if the sensor settings do not match the settings set in the system (based on the node).

The following settings are checked:
  • Uplink frequency
  • Sounding mode (when available)
  • Sounding range (when available)
  • PRP sensors: telegram names and frequencies
