  • Page 5: System Overview

    System overview 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Synchronizing Unit schedules the echo sounders to transmit according to trigger groups. There are a total of 16 trigger groups and any number of echo sounders can be assigned to a group (zero or more). Each group is triggered consecutively, while the echo sounders assigned to a group are triggered at the same time.
  • Page 6 Kongsberg K-Sync The Synchronizing Unit controls pinging and receives status from the echo sounders via the signal interface. A trigger output is provided for each echo sounder as well as inputs for receiving feedback signals from echo sounders. Feedback signals are not required, but will be used when available.

    Trigger groups 2 TRIGGER GROUPS The trigger groups are the basis for the scheduling of the echo sounders. The Synchronizing Unit uses the runtime parameters to determine the individual timing of the echo sounders, while the trigger groups specify in what order and which echo sounders will transmit together.
