BATS GENERAL INFORMATION
1-2
16kHz frequency band for the receiver and tuned to 12 to 17kHz for the transmitter. For the
4213C-B-V1634, which is larger (4.5 inches diameter X 17.5” Long) and has a lower frequency in-
terrogation element , the transmission is tuned in the 10-14kHz band.
Keyboard/Mouse and Display
The Keyboard & LCD Monitor (Model 4452A) are an integrated unit packaged in a 2U (3.5 inch
height) rack mount chassis. The LCD monitor and Keyboard are on rack slides which lock in the out
position. The LCD monitor is on friction hinges and can be positioned at any angle. The Key-
board/Mouse provide user interface to the Trackman program.
Computer
The Rack Mount PC (Model 4451A) is a 2U chassis containing a P4 Processor (minimum), Win-
dows® XP operating system and the Trackman (Human-Machine Interface, (HMI)) software. The
“Trackman” software is EdgeTech’s Windows® based USBL user-interface software. Trackman
communicates with the BATS’ USBL Processor Module to allow modification of the target & system
parameters and also outputting of processed USBL data to Navigation software such as the
EdgeTech IPS software. The PC (Model 4451A) communicates with the USBL Processor Module
(Model 4460B) via its Ethernet port. The PC sends commands / parameter setup data to the USBL
Processor Module and receives raw beacon-position data from the USBL Processor Module. The PC
sends formatted beacon position data out its RS232 ports to interface to a Navigation System or
the case of the IPS software it can connect internally via an IP address and port#.
Trackman Software
The “Trackman” software is EdgeTech’s Windows® based USBL user-interface software. Trackman
communicates with the BATS’ USBL Processor Module to allow modification of the target & system
parameters and also outputting of processed USBL data to Navigation software such as the
EdgeTech IPS software.
IPS Software
The IPS software integrates the USBL data and the DGPS data to display and output tracked target
data relative to Latitude and longitude. The IPS is a Windows® based software and can be installed
on the same PC as the Trackman software.
Compatibility with older Trackpoint Systems
Beacons - The BATS can track the older Legacy beacons but with no improvement in range or accu-
racy from the older Trackpoint systems.
