On new systems, Seanet Pro, the Tritech software that runs on the SCU, is looking at Com Port 1 for sensor information. If it doesn’t find any it reports the TMO error that you are seeing. If you do have a Tritech unit connected to that port which isn’t working, please contact our Customer Support Team (on +44 (0) 1224 744 111 (option 2), or support@tritech.co.uk).

If you do not have a Tritech unit connected to that port you can either ignore the error or disable the Com Port in the Seanet Pro software by doing the following:

  • Go to the Utilities drop down menu and select Com Setup
  • For the AIF device that has Com Port 1 selected, ensure that the Enable box is unchecked
  • Close the Com Setup window

Green can be made by mixing equal amounts of Blue and Yellow.

Adjusting the proportions of the colours will vary the tone.  More Yellow will create a warmer Green whereas more Blue will make it cooler.

The Gemini 1200ik is a dual frequency version of the Gemini 720ik. The operating frequencies are 720kHz and 1200kHz for close inspection.

The PA range of Altimeter products available from Tritech come in a wide variety of connector, material and electrical wiring options. As these variations can, at times, be highly specific and individual to a single Altimeter, we utilise the Appendices to tailor the manual for individual customers at point of sale.

Please contact Tritech’s Customer Support Team (on +44 (0) 1224 744 111 (option 2), or support@tritech.co.uk) with your Altimeter’s full serial number (e.g. S02125.123456) and they will be able to forward you full details of your unit.

Currently there is not a Software Development Kit for the MicronNav System in either the Genesis or Seanet SDK.

Having the hardware is the ideal place to start.  Without this you have to rely 100% on the documentation. 

Without the hardware you will have to copy the data as it is in the documentation and work from there.

With the hardware I would recommend running the head in Seanet Pro and snooping both the Tx and Rx line to see the data being sent between the sonar and the computer.  This will allow to see the hex data and which fields are changed when you change the settings in Seanet.  This will help you to make sense of the headers and nomenclature.

If you have changed your monitor configuration or moved the Genesis application offscreen, Genesis will open up and you will find it difficult to access.  

To fix this, you you need to delete the Genesis folder within the Windows AppData folder.  This can be found at the location below:

C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Tritech

Where XXXXXXX is your local computer ID. 

If you have a computer running Windows, desktop or Laptop, then you should download the version "for PC/Laptop"

If you have a Hammerhead then you will need to use the "For Hammerhead" download.  Note this is for a PC/Laptop too.

The SCU versions are ONLY for Tritech SCU units. These will not work on the Windows versions that run on every day Personal Computers or Laptops.
