Operating Software; Power-On Procedure - Teledyne 440 System Manual

5 Operating Software

Before you power-on the SDC and the sub-sea components of the 440 System,
make certain that:
❐
You have installed the surface and sub-sea components correctly as
instructed in Chapter 3 "Physical Installation".
❐ You have made all electrical connections within the System using the correct
cables as instructed in Chapter 4 "Electrical Installation".
❐
You have established an appropriate communication method between the
surface and the sub-sea components.
The SDC has the required software, DeepView for Windows, pre-installed and configured to start
automatically when it is powered on. This section of the Manual describes the features of the software
that you must use to operate the 440 System and conduct a survey.
These instructions assume you are reasonably familiar with the Microsoft Windows operating
environment. Although you may use all the commands using the Panel PC's touch-screen, you may
prefer to operate the software using either a mouse or keyboard. These can be connected to the SDC
using the USB ports located on the Panel PC front panel.
In these instructions, key press sequences appear in square brackets. For example, 'press
[SHIFT]+[F4]' means to press the Shift key and the function key F4 together.

5.1 Power-on Procedure

During initialisation, DeepView for Windows searches for a valid initialisation file
on the SDC hard disk. If the file exists and the SDC receives compatible data
packets from the SEP, DeepView for Windows will begin to operate using the con-
figuration details stored in the initialisation file. If DeepView for Windows does not
find the initialisation file or if there are no compatible data packets arriving from the
SEP, it will start the System Configuration Wizard to help you establish reliable
communications.
For this reason it is usually better to power-on the sub-sea installation before you
power-on the SDC.
