Adding a Sensor

You need to add new sensors to the system.

Before you begin

A trawl gear type is defined.

About this task

All sensors added to the system must be given a location, called nodes, on the selected trawl gear type. Nodes have numerical value between 1 and 999. See Trawl Gears and Sensor Locations for illustration.

Procedure

  1. From the left side of the screen where the system is displayed, click Sensors.
  2. In the sensor selection page that appears, in Product Category select the main function of the sensor.
  3. In Product Name, select the additional options that the sensor has.
    A picture with the nodes where sensors can be placed on the selected trawl gear is displayed.
  4. In Trawl Gear Location, select a node location for the sensor. The list only displays nodes that have no sensor assigned. Refer to the picture to know to which node the number corresponds.
  5. Click Add Sensor.

What to do next

You can now configure the settings of the sensor.
