The Olex system will only accept information from CW transmissions. If you attempt
to export data from a LFM channel it will respond with an error message.

Synchronizing the ES80 by means of a serial port

If you want to use the ES80 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) 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.
• One of the acoustic systems is set up as "master", and controls the transmissions on
the other systems.
The ES80 offers functionality for remote transmit synchronization. It can be set up to
operate in either Master or Slave mode.
Note
The Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) offers an
synchronisation purposes. This synchronization method may be more stable that the
traditional CTS/RTS connection to a serial port.
