How to set up the sonar system interface

The current depth from a defined transceiver channel can be sent out on a serial line to
a sonar system. You can only use the serial lines already set up to accept input from
other peripherals.
Note that the depth information is normally also provided on the duplex interfaces to
trawl instrumentation and catch monitoring systems.
Wiring procedure
Locate the RS-232 serial port that can be used to connect the sonar system.
