Simrad PI Congurator SW 4.10

Introduction

This document describes the release of software version 4.32 for the PI Congurator application.

The PI Congurator runs on a

standard desktop or laptop computer set up with Windows® XP® or

Windows® 7 operating systems.

The application is used to dene

transmission channels and update rates on the PI and PS sensors.

In order to interface the sensor,

you need a special interface unit, the

PI CIC. This interface device can be

obtained from Simrad.

Changes with SW 4.32

The following changes have been

implemented.

• Core software redesigned.

• Implemented support for new

sensors.

• Released for Windows® 7.

• Bug xes.

PI CIC software driver

A dedicated driver must be

installed on your computer to use the

PI CIC interface unit. This driver can

be downloaded from our website: http://www.simrad.com.

A new version 2.06.02 is now

available to support Windows® 7.

Do I need to upgrade?

This new version of the PI

Congurator software will - when

used with the PI CIC interface unit

- handle all old and current PI and

PS sensors. The latest hardware and software developments put to

use in the sensors will also require this combination. Older versions of

the PI Congurator will not work on the latest sensors. The old types

of interface cables will also prove unoperational on the latest sensor electronics.

For these resons, we strongly

advice all users to upgrade to the

latest software version, and to put the

PI CIC unit to use.

Documentation

The PI Congurator instruction

manual and on-line help has been

revised. The manuals are now also available in Spanish.
