Learn how to configure the sensor settings.
Spread Sensor Specific Settings
You need to set these settings for Spread sensors.
Configuring the Spread Sounding Channel
For XL bottles produced before S/N 3636606 (see sticker on the end cap), you need to configure correctly the up and down channels.

Sensor Configuration
Learn how to configure the sensor settings.
- Connecting the Sensor to Mosa2
  To configure the sensor, you need to connect it to Mosa2 using a wireless communication or using the Configuration Cable.
- Spread Sensor Specific Settings
  You need to set these settings for Spread sensors.
  - Defining the Trawl Geometry
    You need to define for the Master Spread Sensor the type of trawl that you are using.
  - Defining the Starboard and Clump Sensor Type
    You need to define the type of Starboard and Clump (if applicable) sensors that are installed.
  - Configuring Spread Sensor Telegrams
    You need to configure telegrams sent by the Master, Starboard and Clump (if applicable) sensors.
  - Configuring Spread Sensor Positioning Settings
    You need to configure the settings of the signal sending positioning data.
  - Configuring the Spread Sounding Channel
    For XL bottles produced before S/N 3636606 (see sticker on the end cap), you need to configure correctly the up and down channels.
  - Calibrating the Pitch and Roll
    You need to calibrate the pitch and roll of the sensors when they are placed in the sensor pockets.
- Slant Range Specific Settings
  You need to set these settings for Slant Range sensors.
- Configuring the Uplink Power
  You can increase the uplink power of the sensor to increase the power of the signal transmitted. It is useful if you have interferences or if the sensor is far from the vessel.
- Testing Measures
  You can test the measures taken by the sensor (e.g. battery level, temperature, depth) to check that there are no faults.
- Exporting Sensor Configuration Settings for Record Keeping
  You can export in a *.txt file all the settings configured for the sensor (such as ping length, frequency, range, TVG...).
- Exporting Sensor Configuration Settings for the Receiver
  You can export on an XML file the sensor settings that you configured on Mosa2. You can afterward use this file when adding the sensor to a receiver.

Configuring the Spread Sounding Channel

For XL bottles produced before S/N 3636606 (see sticker on the end cap), you need to configure correctly the up and down channels.

Before you begin

The sensor is connected to Mosa2.

About this task

Important: Only do this task if:

You have XL bottles produced before S/N 3636606 with V2 firmware

For other bottles, leave default settings.

Sensors communicate with each other with the down sounder on the transducer. On XL bottles produced before S/N 3636606, the down sounder is connected to the up A1 connector. To correctly receive spread data, you need to configure the channels on Mosa2 when these bottles have V2 firmware.

Procedure

Click the tab Channel.
For a Master, Starboard and Clump sensor, select Channel Up.
Click Apply and make sure there is a green check mark .
