If you do not wish to program additional sensors, disconnect the entire programming cable, and close the PI Configurator utility. How to do Geometry configuration These procedures explain how to set up a Geometry sensor with its corresponding Mini-R units. Observe the information about the Geometry sensor provided in the Introduction chapter. Topics · · Geometry configuration on page 24 Mini­R configuration on page 25 164924/D 23 Simrad PI Configurator Related topics · Geometry and Mini-R sensors configuration on page 9 Geometry configuration This procedure explains how to set up a Geometry sensor. 1 Start the PI Configurator utility, and connect the sensor to the computer with the programming cable. 2 Connect the sensor on page 18 Click Establish Communication, and wait for the PI Configurator utility to interface with the sensor. Establish Communication When communication is established, the PI Configurator utility will automatically adapt to the sensor type currently connected. This means that buttons and displays that are not applicable for the sensor will be unavailable. 3 Click the Read Sensor button. Read Sensor Observe that the current sensor configuration parameters are displayed in the appropriate fields. 4 If required, select new communication channels in the two Channel spin boxes. Channel 15 Two communication channels are used to read the information from the Geometry sensor. These are simply identified as #1 and #2. 5 If required, select a new update rate in the Update spin box. Update Fast 6 If required, select the Mini­R combination in the Mini-R spin box. Mini-R 1 and 3 a b c You can use Mini­R combinations 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. The number identifies the Mini­R sensors to be used, and the Geometry sensor must then be set up with the corresponding number. The combination you select here must match the two Mini­R sensors you wish to use. For example, if you select combination 1 and 3, the two Mini­R sensors to be used must be set up as #1 and #3. 24 164924/D Operational procedures 7 Click the Program Sensor button to upload the new parameters.
