Selecting synchronization mode

If you want to use the SN90 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
Neither tools nor instruments are required. The SN90 system is turned on and operates
normally.
• For "slave" operation, a remote system (for example K-Sync or Simrad TU40) 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.
The communication port on the Processor Unit is selected.
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 SN90 offers functionality for remote transmit synchronization. It can be set up to
operate in either Master or Slave mode.
