Air Gun Mode
Air Gun mode available with the firmware version 1.007 or later.
The configuration shown on FIG.1 use a SHOTPRO II Decoder in Air Gun –
(or Air Gun +) mode and a SHOTPRO II Encoder in Air Gun mode.
The following sequence occurs in this mode:
1. HYDROSEIS Navigation System outputs preload closure when the boat
approaches Shot point.
2. Preload closure is wired to the SHOTPRO II CONTROL line in the boat.
3. The SHOTPRO II Decoder is in Air Gun – mode (ArGn ) and sends Master
Start codes to the Recording Truck Slave SHOTPRO II Encoder (Encoder must
be in Air Gun mode).
SHOTPRO II Decoder must be in Fire Menu to send Master Start codes. The
decoder will send Master Start codes every 5 seconds if the CONTROL line
is held low (ArGn ).
4. The SHOTPRO II Slave Encoder receives the Master Start Codes and starts
the Recording System.
The Slave Encoder sends radio start code to the decoder.
5. On the boat, the SHOT PRO II Decoder in Air Gun – (ArGn ) Mode receives
the radio start command.
6. Analog data output line of SHOTPRO II Decoder starts the Air Gun
Controller. (Adjustable from 145 mSec to 50 mSec before SHOTPRO II Encoder
Time Break).
7. The uphole data is wired to “signal” from the Air Gun Controller. Shows
when Air Gun fired.
8. Start Active is used for CTB and is wired through an isolator to
the Air Gun Time Break (260 mSec max).
9. SHOTPRO II Decoder starts receiving GPS data from HYDROSEIS at TB.
Receives
data up to 1 Sec after TB. (100 bytes max, 9600 Baud Rate, No Parity, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit). The Data must start with an “@” (40hex) and end
with a line feed (0Ahex).
10. All PFS data is delayed 1 Sec. The HYDROSEIS GPS data is attached to the
10 end of the RTI data (Just for SERCEL).

11. New software was required for the Opseis Eagle recorder to receive this
special GPS data string.
(ArGn –) mode SHOTPRO II Decoder sends Master Start codes when in Fire
Menu and CONTROL line is held low.
(ArGn +) mode SHOTPRO II Decoder sends Master Start codes when in Fire
Menu and CONTROL line is held high.

The configuration shown on FIG.2 use a SHOTPRO II Decoder in Air Gun
mode and a SHOTPRO II Encoder in Air Gun mode.
The following sequence occurs in this mode:
1. HYDROSEIS Navigation System outputs preload closure when the boat
approaches the Shot point.
2. Preload start closure is wired to Start Active and Return on the
SHOTPRO II Master Encoder (in Air Gun mode) in the boat.
3. The SHOTPRO II Master Encoder sends Master start codes over the radio.
4. The SHOTPRO II Slave Encoder in the Recorder receives the Master Start
Codes and starts the Recorder.
5. The SHOTPRO II Slave Encoder then sends Decoder Start Codes.
6. On the boat, the SHOTPRO II Decoder in Air Gun Mode receives the start
command.
7. Analog data output line of SHOTPRO II Decoder starts the Air Gun
Controller. (Adjustable from 145 mSec to 50 mSec before SHOTPRO II
Encoder Time Break).
8. The uphole data is wired to “signal” from the Air Gun Controller.
Shows when Air Gun fired.
9. Start Active is used for CTB and is wired through an isolator to the
