Viewing SPI Files in SpiView on the External PC
If the buffer data transferred to the external computer are to be viewed using the
SpiView software, all of the data buffer files (SPIxx.PCX) must be copied to the
\SPIVIEW\BUFFERS directory. Any buffer data files in this directory should be moved or
deleted before the new buffer data files are copied. Alternatively, the buffer location can
be changed using the SPI_LOAD.INI file (see the SpiView Manual for details). SpiView
is available from Sensors & Software Inc.
5.6.2 Deleting all Buffer Files on the DVL
Pressing the number 3 on the main menu allows the user to delete ALL the data buffers
(up to 250 screens) currently saved on the DVL.
Before the buffers are deleted, the user is asked, “Do you want to delete all the buffers?”
To answer YES to this question press the A button. To answer NO to the question press
the B button and the buffers are not deleted.
5.7 Upgrades
Pressing the number 4 on the main menu puts the DVL into listen mode to allow a
