Context
Note
The input from a course gyro is essential for operation. Without the input from a course
gyro, the MF90 system will not be able to present correct navigational information. This
lack of compensation will prevent the system from providing correct echo information.
The
Sensor Installation
page allows your MF90 system to communicate with external
sensors and systems. You must specify which communication port to use (LAN (Local Area
Network) or serial port). You can type a custom name to identify the sensor import. In the
list of valid datagram formats, select the format(s) to be accepted by the MF90 system. For
each relevant sensor you must insert the offset values that define the its physical location
relative to the vessel’s coordinate system.
Note
Just making changes and selecting
OK
at the bottom of the page will not install anything.
Select what to install, define the relevant parameters, and then select
Add
.
Procedure
1
Connect the gyro (or other heading sensor) to an available communication port on
your computer.
This is described in the
Cable layout and interconnections
chapter. Observe the
applicable requirements related to cabling. Make sure that the total length of the serial
line cable does not exceed approximately 50 meters. If a longer cable is required,
you may need to use buffer amplifiers.
If the computer is not fitted with a suitable serial line connector, use a USB-to-serial
converter. Several types are commercially available. Note that most USB-to-serial
converters will introduce some latency. They may also introduce jitter in the
communication. The amount of jitter depends on the quality of the converter.
2
Open the
Setup
menu.
3
On the
Setup
menu, select
Installation
.
Observe that the
Installation
dialog box opens. This dialog box contains a number of
pages selected from the menu on the left side.

On the left side of the
Installation
dialog box, select

.
5
For
Sensor Type
