To change the sensor setup, you can call your local Simrad
dealer, or you can do it yourself if you have the proper
equipment, training and the PI Configurator software.
PI Configurator
The PI Configurator application is provided to enable local
sensor configuration. In order to perform this configuration, you
will need a personal computer (desktop or laptop) running
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Windows XP®, and a special
cable.
Special configuration of PI Spread
The PI Spread sensor is always used with a PI Remote sensor,
and these must be configured in a pair in order to make the
transverse communication link work properly. In order to allow
for a dual Spread application, you can use two predefined
configurations: P I Spread 1 and/or PI Spread 2.
The Remote sensors are available pre-programmed for these
two pairs, and the sensors are identified as Remote 1 and
Remote 2.
The t wo pairs must be configured as follows:
Configuration Spread sensor Remote sensor
PI Spread 1 PI Spread (*) Remote 1
PI Spread 2 PI Spread (*) Remote 2
(*) = The same PI Spread sensor is used for both configur-
ations. By default, it is programmed for PI Spread 1.Ifyou
wish to use it for PI Spread 2, you must re -- configure it using
the PI Configurator application.
You can select the communication channels between the PI
Spread sensors and the vessel to suit your preferences.
Special configuration of PI Twin Spread
The PI Twin Spread sensor is always used with two PI Remote
sensors, and these must be configured as a group in order to
make the transverse communication links work properly. In
order to allow for a dual Spread application, you can use two
predefined configurations: PI Twin Spread 1 and/or PI Twin
Spread 2.
The Remote sensors are available pre-programmed for these
two pairs, and the sensors are identified as Remote 1, Remote
2, Remote 3 and Remote 2. The two first (1 and 2) are the same
sensors as for the standard PI Spread application.
