Learn how to configure the receiver to be able to receive and display door sensor data.
Adding Sensors to the Receiver
You need to add the sensors to the receiver in order to display their data on Scala2.
Adding the Sensor with a Configuration File
You can add the sensor to the receiver with a configuration file that contains the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2.

System Configuration and Display
Learn how to configure the receiver to be able to receive and display door sensor data.
- Configuring the Hydrophones
  You need to configure the hydrophones to correctly receive signals from the sensors.
- Adding Sensors to the Receiver
  You need to add the sensors to the receiver in order to display their data on Scala2.
  - Adding the Sensor with a Configuration File
    You can add the sensor to the receiver with a configuration file that contains the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2.
  - Adding the Sensor Manually
    You can add the sensor to the receiver from Scala2, by entering the same settings as the ones in Mosa2.
  - Configuring the Positioning Settings
    You need to configure the positioning settings on the system web page (receiver page on Scala2.
  - Calculations for Positioning System
    When configuring the positioning system on the system web page (Scala2 receiver page), you must consider the position of the hydrophones. When they are misaligned, you can calculate their misalignment angles with the following calculations.
- Adding Data from External Devices
  You need to add to Scala2: warp lengths (Spread sensors only), GPS coordinates and heading data received from devices such as winch control systems or GPS compass.
- Configuring Trawl Settings
  You need to configure trawl settings to display the trawl on the chart and vessel 3D overview.
- Configuring Data Display on Scala2
  You can display on pages in Scala2 measurements taken by the sensors, such as the spread distance or the pitch and roll of the doors. You can also use the chart or 3D view to display the position of the trawl.
- Displaying Trawl Positioning from Scala2 on Olex
  You can export trawl positioning data coming from Scala2 to Olex software.
- Displaying Trawl Positioning from Scala2 on MaxSea Version 12
  You can export trawl positioning data coming from Scala2 to MaxSea v12 application.
- Displaying Trawl Positioning from Scala2 on MaxSea TimeZero
  You can export trawl positioning data coming from Scala2 to MaxSea TimeZero application.
- Displaying Trawl Positioning from Scala2 on SeapiX
  You can export trawl positioning data coming from Scala2 to SeapiX application.
- Displaying Bathymetric Data from GEBCO Database
  You can display bathymetric data coming from GEBCO database on the 3D overview of the vessel.
- Receiving Warp Lengths from Scantrol
  You can output warp length data from Scantrol iSYM Trawl Control application to Scala2 software.

Adding the Sensor with a Configuration File

You can add the sensor to the receiver with a configuration file that contains the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2.

Before you begin

You have exported an XML file containing the sensor settings (See Exporting Sensor Configuration Settings for the Receiver).

Important: You need to have Firefox version 22 to 51.

Procedure

Enter your receiver IP address in Firefox web browser to access the system web page. The system web page gives access to the configuration of the receiver.

Note: Default IP addresses are: 192.168.10.177 for M3 and M6 receivers, 192.168.1.170 for M4 receiver. Add the address as a bookmark in Firefox to easily access it.
From the left side of the page, click Sensors.
Click the tab Add from Marport Sensor Config Utility.
Click Browse and select the XML file.
Information about the sensor is displayed.
Select a node from the list on the left. Nodes in green are already used.
Note: For Slant Range sensors, choose 22 for port and 25 for starboard sensor.
Note: For Spread sensors, choose:
- Master: 23
- Starboard: 26 (single trawl), 123 (twin trawls)
- Clump: 26
Click Add Sensor.
The sensor is added to the system, with all its settings.

Results

You can see incoming data in the control panels, in Mx.

What to do next

If you want to apply filters on data received by the sensor, see Configuring Sensor Settings.
You can now configure the display of incoming data in Scala2.
