You can test the measures taken by the sensor (e.g. battery level, temperature, depth) to check that there are no faults.

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.
- 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.

Testing Measures

You can test the measures taken by the sensor (e.g. battery level, temperature, depth) to check that there are no faults.

Before you begin

The sensor is connected to Mosa2.

Procedure

From Mosa2, click Menu > Expert and enter the password copernic.
Click the tab General.
From Measures Test, click Apply.
The measures taken by the sensor are displayed.
Check the following measures:
- The temperature is consistent with the sensor environment.
- The depth is between 0 and 2m.
- The battery is between 6.9V and 8.1V.
Troubleshooting: If depth is incorrect, you can put an offset in Depth > Depth Offset.

The other measures are only useful for the support service.
