What Is Most Critical Is the Serial Connection to the PC

INTERFACING THE HYDROBOX FOR A SURVEY APPLICATION *Updated September 30, 2013*

The HydroBox sensor unit and the HydroBox Host application software provide a critical part of your Hydrographic Survey solution, but there are several other important hardware and/or software components that you will need to perform a successful survey. The following components are also required to have a successful survey mission:

• Laptop or Desktop PC (Sunlight readable preferred in most applications) • DGPS for accurate survey position information. • Multiple COM Ports, or USB to Serial Adapter (for GPS, Data Logger, and Survey Software Interface) • Hydrographic Survey Software Application This application note will cover the basic setup of all the equipment listed above in a step by step manner. There are 2 typical installation setups for the HydroBox: DGPS Only, and DGPS with Survey Software. Each of these installations shall be described. HydroBox to PC Interface The HydroBox sensor unit sends and receives data via a dedicated, single serial connection to/from the Laptop (Desktop) computer hereinafter referred to as a PC. Note that the acoustic data sent to the PC is sent in real time and in shallow water the amount of data is significant. Thus, it is best to purchase or use a PC that has a 9 pin Serial Interface (COM port) connector. A direct RS232 serial port connection between the PC and the HydroBox Sensor unit is the best way to ensure that no acoustic data is lost during your survey. If you cannot use a PC with a dedicated serial port, one of the adapters listed below may be used but it is best to have a direct connection for the acoustic data link if possible. Also note that the Hydrobox data cable incorporates a port-powered RS-232 to RS-422 converter. Because power to the converter needs to originate from the PC, some USB to serial converters do not work for this application. This is common for low end converters that are typically used for consumer electronic peripherals. This is another reason to make use of a direct COM port connection between the HydroBox and the Host PC. HydroBox with DGPS Interface Only Configuration All survey applications require that the depth information provided by the HydroBox be mated to a specific position on the map. Thus, a DGPS is a critical part of the survey solution. Fortunately, the position information from the DGPS is sent in several industry standard ASCII data strings (RMC, GGA, GLL) with minimal data bandwidth requirements. Since most PC’s of today do NOT have multiple COM ports available, the DGPS interface to the computer should make use of one of the Serial to USB converter. The DGPS interface uses about 1/10th of the data bandwidth when compared to the HydroBox acoustic data interface so a Serial to USB adapter will work fine for the DGPS data.

For applications that require the HydroBox and a DGPS only, a total of 2 COM ports are needed to setup a survey system. For functional Serial to USB 2.0 adapters known to work for this type of setup, refer to the adapters listed in Table 1.

HydroBox with DGPS and Survey Software Configuration

For the majority of applications the HydroBox shall be used with a DGPS and a Survey Software package (such as HyPack or HydroPro). Having a full survey application running allows the user to setup the area to survey, draw the survey lines and navigate the lines with a visual tool. When a survey program is running, 4 serial interfaces are needed to make full use of the survey system setup in most applications

• HydroBox Acoustic Data Port • HydroBox DGPS Position Input • Survey Software DGPS Position Input • Survey Software External Annotation/HydroBox Data Logger

Again the user should note that all of the interfaces listed above are LOW BANDWIDTH except for the HydroBox Acoustic Data Port. If a direct COM port interface to the PC is available, the HydroBox Acoustic Data Port should go directly to the PC. 4 Port Serial to USB adapters for the full survey software setup are listed in Table 1.

Legacy Serial Adapters Information

SyQwest recommends that all HydroBox users interface their survey systems using the Serial to USB 2.0 adapters listed in the sections above. In some instances customers have legacy PC products. In these cases, the best recommendation is to buy a new Laptop or Desktop PC. If that cannot be done, the information below may be helpful. Customers have used the HydroBox with the interface adapter types listed below with success but support for them is very limited and will be difficult to sustain in the future, see Table 2.

• PCMCIA to Serial: A recently obsolete expansion interface. This is a very good option, but finding adapter cards is becoming more difficult. Most brands of these types of cards work well with HydroBox.

• ExpressCard to Serial: Currently the most common type of expansion interface, it has replaced the PCMCIA slot. This is a very good interface and most brands that we have tried work well with Hydrobox. We recommend the 4-port Quatech QSPXP-100 as a top performer.

Serial & Parallel ExpressCards SSPXP, DSPXP, QSPXP & SPPXP Series

Advantages of a PCIe-based ExpressCard design are in the interface to the laptop’s motherboard. The PCIe bus interface is the successor to the PCI bus, which in turn was KEY FEATURES the successor to the ISA bus to which built- in ports were originally attached. As such, New generation of I/O expansion the ExpressCard adapter design utilizes a PCIe-based design and can still directly use for notebooks I/O space addresses and interrupts, thus Adds 1, 2 or 4 high-speed serial more closely emulating built-in ports than ports; 1 true parallel port can be done via USB-based design. Moreover, because there's no USB stack Support PCI Express Base Performance Line Technology for the drivers to contend with, throughput Specification Revision 1.1a ExpressCard technology is emerging with can be higher and latency will be lower faster speeds and better efficiency than the (considerably so in many cases). Installs in any ExpressCard slot typical PCMCIA and PC Cards, connecting Built-in 1024-byte FIFOs buffers high-bandwidth peripherals to notebooks Due to improved data transfer rate, the increase data transmit/receive and other portables. The ExpressCard’s ExpressCard is considerably more efficient speed credit-card like format gives way to a for multi-tasking operations. The PXP smaller, faster and more desktop-friendly series support data rates of up to Baud rates up to 921.6kbps format. 921.6Kbps, which provides steady flow of Hot plugging and hot swapping data throughput. Gone are the days of laptops manufactured features with PC Card slots and are swapped out Quatech’s PXP series is a great solution to High speed ExpressCard with with smaller, slimmer and thinner connect with existing peripherals and plug-n-play ExpressCard portals. Quatech’s Serial maintain compatibility and functionality with ExpressCard line supersedes older their current application software. Supports Windows XP/Vista/7 technology and are engineered for new operating systems laptop models. Quatech 34mm Expresscards can be used in either 34 or 54mm Expresscard slots. As 34mm ExpressCards include Quatech’s ExpressCards are designed in an added feature, Quatech includes their ADP-XP54 54mm adapter the smallest form factor -34. ExpressCard Model ADP-XP54 Expresscard 54mm 34 is compatible with all ExpressCard slots adapter for 34mm cards with every - 34/54. shipment to improve fit and durability of the 34mm cards in the larger 54mm slots. Quatech’s ExpressCard solutions accommodate I/O expansion and Quatech also sells and supports other connectivity to serial and parallel devices in ExpressCard connectivity products, mobile laptop applications. including hard drive eSATA 2.0 and Ethernet configurations.
