Note that in addition to navigational data, the (D)GPS may also
be used for the input of speed log information. Most (D)GPS are
equipped to present course information, but this data is
generally too inconsistent to provide a stable sonar presentation.
The (D)GPS parameters are:
• GPS data: RS-232 Serial line, standard NMEA 0183.
Echo sounder
To provide depth information on the catch control page of the
sonar’s display, echo sounders may be connected:
• RS-232 Serial line, standard NMEA 0183
Catch monitoring system
To provide trawl and purse seine depth information on the
sonar’s display, the following Simrad catch monitoring systems
may be connected:
• Simrad PI30 Catch monitoring system (RS-232)
• Simrad PI32 Catch monitoring system (RS-232)
Trawl system
To provide trawl information on the sonar’s display, one of the
following Simrad trawl systems may be connected:
• Simrad FS903 Trawl sonar system (RS-232)
• Simrad FS3300 Trawl sonar system (RS-232)
• Simrad ITI Integrated Trawl Instrumentation system
(RS-232)
Current meter system
A current meter system may be connected to the sonar to display
the direction and speed of the sea currents on various depths.
The following current system can be connected:
• Kaijo DCG-200
The current meter system is interfaced by means of an RS-232
serial line.
Radio buoy system
A GPS based radio buoy system may be connected to the sonar
to show the position and buoy data on the display. All are
interfaced by means of an RS-232 serial line. The following
buoy systems can be connected:
• SERPE
• Ariane
• Ryokusei
