Simrad SN90 Operator Manual
Configuring the sensor interface
With several sensors connected to the SN90, 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 SN90. 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 SN90 using a serial or network cable.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The navigation sensor is installed into the SN90 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
can define a priority sensor by rearranging the datagrams in a list. You can also define
manual values in case a sensor is unserviceable, or not installed.
The SN90 can communicate with several different sensor types. On the
page you define which external sensors your SN90 will import information

from. You must also decide which datagram formats that will be accepted.
