SST Remote Display with Power Supply and Computer Connection
The SST remote display is connected to a laptop computer by means of a serial port. When connected,
real-time data can be viewed at the computer, and data points can be logged by the computer operator.
The SST software allows for viewing, logging, editing, graphing, saving, and printing of the drill data.
The SST remote display menu options include those in the standard Eclipse remote display main menu
plus two other options: Steering and Set Yaw Ref (see table below).
SST Remote Display Menu Options
Steering
Puts the remote display into SST steering mode. This mode must be selected when
drilling with the SST transmitter. It is also used when establishing a reference
heading. To enable steering mode, use the right toggle arrow to select the Steering
option, then press the execute button. When in steering mode, the clock on the
remote display (which indicates roll) shows units in degrees (from 0 to 360), whereas
in remote mode the units correspond to the numbers on a clock (1 through 12).
Set Yaw Ref
This menu option is used to reprogram the SST transmitter’s reference heading if the
original heading is determined to be incorrect. Select this menu option and enter the
reference heading by using the up/down arrows to increase or decrease the yaw
number, and then press the execute button.
NOTE: The Yaw Ref can also be set from the steering screen by pushing the up
arrow (see Operating Instructions section).
