Configuring The Sensor Interface - Simrad ES80 Reference Manual

a Select the offset value on the X axis (fore-and-aft direction) from the Ship
Origin. Adjust with a positive value for X if the sensor is located ahead of the
ship origin.
b Select the offset value on the Y axis (athwartship) from the Ship Origin.
Adjust with a positive value for Y if the sensor is located on the starboard
side of the ship origin.
c Select the offset value on the Z axis (vertical) from the Ship Origin. Adjust
with a positive value for Z if the sensor is located under the ship origin.

Configuring the sensor interface

With several sensors connected to the ES80, many of them will provide the same
datagrams. We cannot expect that the datagrams provide the same information.
The
Sensor Configuration
information from the "most reliable" sensor is used by the ES80. You can also define
manual values in case a sensor is unserviceable, or not installed.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• The new sensor is physically connected to the ES80 using a serial or network cable.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The navigation sensor is installed into the ES80 software. The relevant interface
parameters and physical location properties are defined.
Context
Any information in a datagram, for example the current depth, may be provided in
different datagrams from several sensors. Due to a number of reasons (environmental
conditions, installation, configuration, accuracy, etc.), the numerical values provided can
be different from one sensor to another.
Several sensor are provided on the
information. Select the sensor you wish to configure in the
