Software Settings
Once the Sonar head has been correctly set the following settings are required in the run-time
Sonar (‘SONV3’) and Setup (‘V3SETUP’) programs. Do not run these programs at the same time.
Step 3:
Running ‘SONV3’, first select application "S_RV4" (using 'Menu' – 'AppSetup') and close down and
restart the ‘SONV3’ program. Note, "S_RV4" may not be included in earlier software versions -
contact Tritech for further advise and/or to receive a program update.
Access the 'Sonar Tools' menu via the spanner icon in the top-left of the Sonar window.
Click on the ‘More Options’ check box and ensure that the 'RV4Aux' box appears and is checked,
as follows;
N.B. If the ‘RV4Aux’ check box does not appear in the menu,
the C:\WINDOWS\SONV3SO.INI will need to be edited. The
following lines can be found in the [SON1] section of this file…
;' Allow RV4 input and output messages to Sonar Aux Port
RV4AUX=1
…if a semi-colon appears before the RV4AUX=1 command,
then this must be removed in order to enable visibility of the

Step 4:
Ensure that 'Sonar Slot 1' is set with 'Continuous Data Output' and 'Copy Input to DDE' boxes
checked. This is to enable screen display of the Sonar 'Aux' data. If data is also required to be
output from a serial port at the rear of the SCU, then select the appropriate channel (‘None’ shown
set below for disablement) and allocate a serial port to this channel in the ‘Remote Comms Setup’.
