Wheelhouse units
The Display Monitor is a high-resolution colour LCD (Liquid
Crystal Display). In addition to the sonar picture, the monitor can
also display the user menu for the interactive operation. In order
to ease the situation comprehension, certain colours have been
chosen to better the distinction between the various elements in
the scene.
The
Operating Panel contains all necessary control functions
for operating the sonar. The controls are arranged in function
groups, which gives a clear and easy operation. Note that all
sonar operation also may be made from the trackball, or from an
optional standard mouse.
The
Processor Unit is a marine computer, which runs the
Microsoft Windows XP® operating system. The software and
hardware has been modified by Simrad to suit the SH80 sonar
requirements. The purpose of this computer is to allow you
to control the sonar. It provides the graphic presentation of
the sonar modes and the images created, it holds the menu
system, it communicates with the Operating Panel, and reads
information from peripheral units by means of the Interface Unit.
The computer holds a read/write CD unit to be used for future
software upgrades.
The
Interface Unit provides interface for all auxiliary equipment;
log, gyro, GPS, echo sounder, trawl systems, purse seine systems
etc. It also communicates with the Transceiver Unit i n the sonar
room using a single ethernet cable.
