Start-up

Overview

This chapter provides the basic procedure required to power up

the echo sounder and start the pinging.

Power-up procedure

After these initial preparations you can open the ES60 program

on the computer. The

“power on” procedure is described in

detail in the Operational procedures chapter.

The menu system

The menu system is based on the Microsoft Windows®

commercial standard interface. An overall explanation of the

menu system with a description of the various views are

presented in the Display views chapter.

Transceiver inspection

First, we need to check that the transceiver (or transceivers) are

connected.

Open the Install menu, choose the Transceiver command to

open the Transceiver Installation Mode dialogue box. In this

dialogue, press the Inspect button to open the Transceiver

Settings dialogue box.

You may now check that the transceivers are installed correctly.

Active transceivers appear in green text in the Frequency

Channel Selection box.

Click the Cancel button to finish.

If none of the transceivers listed appear in green text, check the

connections and re-install the transceiver(s).

Environmental parameters

To obtain correct values for the various acoustical parameters

calculated by the ES60 program, it is important that you provide

the ES60 program with accurate parameters describing the

environment; sea temperature, salinity and sound velocity.

These values are defined in the Environment dialogue box.

Open the Install menu, choose the Environment command to

open the Environment dialogue box.

Unless the default values are acceptable, you must select Fresh

or Salt water, and enter the current sound velocity. This

information is used to calculate depth and absorption

coefficient.

Click OK when you have finished.
