The odometer has 2 settings: string and wheel.  The wheel odometer setting can be used in
situations where a wheel or cart can easily be pulled across the surface.  The string odometer
setting is useful when conditions are too rugged for the use of a wheel.

The odometer has both a fiber optic connection and an electrical connection (Figure 2-6).  Either
connection can be used to connect the odometer to the console.

1) Electrical Connection:  To connect up the odometer using the electrical connection 

you should have the proper cable for the console to odometer connection.  Connect 
the cable from the red electrical REMOTE receptacle on the console to the electrical 
receptacle on the odometer. (Figure 2-6a)

2) Fiber Optic Connection:  To connect up the odometer using the fiber optic 

connection you should have a dual fiber optic cable for the console to transmitter 
connection.  One of the two cables on the dual fiber optic cable will, if the above 
directions were followed, already be connected from the red transmitter receptacle on 
the console to the INPUT (black) receptacle on the transmitter. (Figure 2-6b)

To complete the connection of the odometer the black fiber optic cable of the dual cable connects
from the red REMOTE receptacle on the console to the grey fiber optic connector on the
odometer.

With either of these connections made, when the radar system is run in Step mode, data
acquisition is controlled by the odometer.
