Gemini Software Operation Gemini 720is Imaging SonarDocument: 0703-SOM-00002, Issue: 1 48 © Tritech International Ltd.Baud The baud rate of the sensor connected to the port.Decode The decode definition to apply for the expected receive data on the port.Max Set the time in seconds to generate an alarm if no data is received.Age The age of the data, shows when the last good data was received (seenote below).Hz The incoming data rateString The incoming data string, check this against the chosen Decode if thedata indicator is red.NoteThe data age status indicator will show the status of each port. A grey indicatormeans no data is present, red is for an incorrect data string, yellow indicates anincomplete data string and green is for normal operation.5.3.3. COM PortsThe COM Ports enables two extra tabs called Serial Setup and Sonar Ports fromwhere all the serial communication (both connected to the PC and ports on the Gemini head)are configured.Serial setupThe Serial Setup tab controls the serial communication being inputted and exported bythe Gemini software.COM Port The COM port to use.... Open the settings dialog for configuring the port baud rate, data bits,parity and flow control.Mode Can change between an ASCII or binary decode (ASCII is the defaultand binary is only used for the Simrad EM3000).Sync The sync character used to frame the ASCII string.Decode The decode definition to apply for the expected receive data on the port.Max Set the time in seconds to generate an alarm if no data is received.Age The age of the data, shows when the last good data was received (seenote below).
