1 Defining a ping

Setting up an advanced sequence, involves defining one or more pings, and combining these in different ways. The pings are defined using the Advanced Sequencing dialog box.

Prerequisites

•

The EK80 is running in Normal or Inactive operating mode.

•

All transducers used in an advanced sequence must be installed in the EK80.

Context

A ping defines the properties of a transmission (ping) from a specific transducer. You can define multiple numbers of pings and combine these into ping groups for the specific transducer. Each ping is defined with a name you choose. The pings are listed under Pings in the Advanced Sequencing dialog box.

Procedure

Select Advanced Sequencing.

Advanced Sequencing is located in the Setup menu.

Select Ping in the far left list in the Advanced Sequencing dialog box.

Select New.

New is located at the top of the Created Pings list.

Parameters for the ping are displayed in the Ping field to the right in the Advanced Sequencing dialog box.

Type a name for the ping

Note

When you provide a name, you can save your setup.

Select transducer in the Channel list.

You can define several ping configurations for each transducer listed.

Select Edit to change any of these pings at a later stage.

Define parameters for the ping.

Parameters which are related to ping configuration are pulse duration, frequency, ramping and such.

Select Add.

The ping configuration is now saved.
