Setting up the SN90 in a synchronized system

If you want to use the SN90 as a master or slave in a synchronized system, you must set
it up for such operation. To do this, you must select which communication port to use for
the synchronization interface, and you must select the requested synchronization mode.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• The vessel is berthed or at sea.
• You have an RS2-232 interface port on your Processor Unit that allows you to use the
CTS/RTS connections.
For "slave" operation, a remote system (for example K-Sync or Simrad TU40) must be
available to provide trigger pulses. For "master" operation, a remote hydroacoustic
system (sonar, echo sounder) is connected. This remote system must be set up in "slave"
mode.
Context
Whenever more than one hydroacoustic system is installed on a vessel, interference may
occur. To avoid interference, you have these options:
• The systems are all connected to a common synchronization system.
