LPS and does not listen or respond to the UIM until the scheduled transmission session 1 The Tone detect board attached to the SIM receives a tone and responds by setting its detect line JP4 pin 2 low If the ITP firmware does not receive a response from the surface within 40 seconds the tone will be sent again a maximum of two more times spaced 40 seconds apart The ITP firmware sends tones twice spaced 40 seconds apart as a backup The UIM should automatically generate a 4800 Hz tone for 2 5 seconds detectable by the Tone Detect board on the SIM In some instances the UIM tone is not sent this occurs because the the SBE44 was not specifically designed for the profiler inductive modem interface The ITP firmware initiates the wake up tone to ensure that the SIM detect line is properly set 2 The surface controller SC monitors the Tone detect board tone detect line Receipt of a tone indicates that the ITP firmware is ready to transmit data The SC powers on the SIM and sends the necessary commands to upload the data 3 The ITP firmware listens for 3 intervals of 40 seconds each for one of the recognized data upload commands 4 When power is applied to the SIM board the board sends a wake up signal down the mooring wire if the UIM is up and running the wake up signal is ignored If the UIM is not ready this wake up activates the UIM 5 A transmit receive acknowledge sequence proceeds as foll
