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.
