When the radar system is run with the Trigger Method set to Fibre Optic (Section 3.3.1.1: P43), data
acquisition can be controlled using the thumb lever on the remote beeper/trigger unit.
During data acquisition, the beeper will emit a beep as data are being collected, as long as the Beeper
Activated (Section 3.3.2: P43) is set to Fibre Optic.
2.5.3 DVL Carrier
For convenience during data acquisition, the DVL and control module can be carried using the optional
DVL Carrier shown in Figure 2-31.
Figure 2-31: The DVL and control module can be attached to the optional DVL Carrier for hands-free operation. The DVL can
be adjusted to optimize the view angle.
2.5.4 Odometers
The pulseEKKO PRO system can accept an odometer input to trigger the system to acquire data at equal
distance intervals (Step Sizes). An odometer eliminates the necessity of using a tape measure or survey
makers.
