Setting Up the DVS for IMM Communication

To set up the Inductive Modem:

1. Loop a conductor through the DVS inductive modem and the surface inductive

modem (not supplied) connected to a computer.

Figure 1. DVS Setup

2. Apply power to the DVS from either the battery pack or from an external supply

via the I/O cable. If the DVS is sealed for deployment, then power must be sup-

plied from the battery pack.

3. Switch the Surface Modem Power switch ON:

Configuring the Serial Connection to the Surface IMM

To configure the serial connection to the surface IMM:

1. Connect and power up the DVS as shown in Figure 1.

2. Start the DVS software.

3. At the DVS Wizard Startup Options screen, click Cancel.

4. From the Configure menu, click Serial Communications.

5. Select the appropriate COM port (i.e. the port that the surface modem is con-

nected to). For the baud rate, select 9600. Serial communications with the IMM’s

should always be set to 9600 baud. Leave the other settings at their default val-

ues.

6. Select the Using an Inductive Modem box and click the Get Modem ID button.

7. Press the OK button to close the Serial Communication Settings dialog.

The inductive modems actually communicate with each other at a baud

rate of 1200, and do not support communication with the DVS at baud

rates above 9600.

8. On the Configure menu, select Modems. Select which modem(s) to configure

(i.e. the Surface IMM connected to the serial port and/or the DVS IMM).

9. If configuring the DVS IMM, you have the option of Use Existing Modem ID, or

Reset Modem ID (from 00 to 99).

10. Press the Configure Modems button to start the configuration process.

The DVS Modem ID that is configured will be applied to the software

serial communication settings for future modem communications.

The DVS IMM can only be configured when it is the only device on the

line.

11. The dialog will update with a status bar and information on the configuration

steps being run.

12. The configuration process will take a few minutes to complete. Once the process

in completed, a message box will display that the selected configuration(s) are

completed.

13. If the modem configuration process does not complete successfully, check the se-

rial connection from the PC to the surface IMM, and the connection to the DVS

system (if attempting to configure the DVS modem). If the connections look cor-

rect and the modem configuration still fails, test the modem connections. The

DVS Operation Manual describes how to verify modem communications.

14. From the Configure menu, click Serial Communications.

15. Click the Connect button. The wakeup message should appear on the deploy-

ment log window.

16. Click OK.

What if the DVS Does Not Respond?

If the DVS does not respond, check the serial port, surface IMM, surface IMM power, wire

loop, cables, external power supply, and battery connection. If necessary, refer to the

Troubleshooting section in the DVS Operation Manual.

DVS batteries are shipped inside the DVS but not connected. Connect the

battery and seal the DVS before deployment.

If you have verified that all is properly connected and powered, you can try to establish

communication through TRDI BBTalk:

1. Connect the Surface Modem Test Box to your computer.

2. Loop a conductor through the DVS inductive modem and the surface inductive

modem (not supplied) connected to a computer. Power can be sup- plied either

from the battery pack or from an external supply via the test cable. If the DVS is

sealed for deployment, then power must be supplied from the battery pack.

3. Run BBTalk.

4. Select 9600bds.

5. Enable Echo Characters option.

6. Switch the surface IMM power switch ON.

7. To confirm the surface modem firmware version, Send GetHD^m^j:

If you obtained the answer above, this means that the Surface Inductive Modem is work-

ing properly and its firmware version is 1.09. If not, then there is a problem with the Sur-

face Inductive Modem. Refer to the Seabird IMM Manual for more troubleshooting in-

formation.

8. To confirm the DVS Inductive modem firmware version, Send !01GetHD^m^j:

If you obtained the answer above, this means that the DVS Inductive Modem is working

properly and its Firmware Version is 1.07. If not then there is a problem with the DVS In-

ductive Modem. Refer to DVS troubleshooting in the DVS Manual for more information.

Testing the DVS

Before deploying the DVS, it is a good idea to make sure that it is working properly.

Built-In Tests

This simple test checks that the DVS is able to communicate with the computer and runs

the diagnostic tests.

To run the Built-In Tests:

1. Connect and power up the DVS as shown in Figure 1.

2. Start the DVS software.

3. At the DVS Wizard Startup Options screen, click Test a DVS. Click Next.

4. On the Test DVS screen, select Run All Tests (includes the recorder test) or Run

Individual Tests and select the desired tests.

5. The results of the test will be saved to the log file (*.log) if the Log result to file

box is selected.

6. Click the Start Test button. The selected tests will run (see the DVS Operation

Manual for details on the test printouts). A green check mark next to the test

name indicates the test passed. If a selected test fails, a red Xwill be placed next

to the test name and a dialog box will prompt if you want to continue testing.

7. Click OK to exit the Test DVS screen.

These tests should be run in the deployed environment to achieve good

results.

Verify/Set Temperature and HPR Sensor

If you have upgraded the DSP board, the Temperature and Heading/Pitch/Roll sensor type

needs to be set in the firmware or at least verify that these are correctly set.

1. Connect and power up the DVS as shown in Figure 1.

2. Start the DVS software.

3. At the DVS Wizard Startup Options screen, click Begin Terminal Session with a

DVS. Click Next.

4. On the DVS Terminal screen, type CR1 <Enter> in the Terminal Window:

5. If the CR1 command returns the following error then send CSTOP <Enter>.

6. Send CR1 <Enter>

7. Send PC2 <Enter> and verify that the Heading, Pitch, Roll and Temperature do not

have an ‘*’ next to them and that the value is reasonable (rotate/tilt the DVS and

send another PC2 as necessary).

8. If the Heading, Pitch, Roll and Temperature values do have an ‘*’ next to them,

then send @C <Enter>.

At this point you are using Engineering commands, it is important that you

be careful with the commands used. If you see an error message that there

was no response from the DVS, please ignore these and press OK when the

window appears.
