Receiving Warp Lengths from Scantrol
You can output warp length data from Scantrol iSYM Trawl Control application to Scala2 software.

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 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.

Receiving Warp Lengths from Scantrol

You can output warp length data from Scantrol iSYM Trawl Control application to Scala2 software.

About this task

Note: In this procedure, data are transmitted via a UDP port but a connection via a serial port can be possible.

Procedure

Scantrol and Marport computers must be connected together via an Ethernet wired network. Both computers must be on the same sub-network to communicate with each other: 192.168.0.XX.
For example, the network IP address can be set at 192.168.0.10 on Scantrol computer and at 192.168.0.12 on Marport computer. The subnet mask address is 255.255.255.0 for both.
Go to iSYM's Configure Communication Ports menu, then in 13: NMEA UDP 1 or 15: NMEA UDP 2 enter a port number, such as 9000, and set SEND to 1.

Note: The port number must be different from the one on which Scala2 sends data (if applicable).
In Scala2, open the control panels then click NMEA Inputs > Add input.
Set a UDP connection and enter the corresponding port.
Clear the Validate Checksum checkbox.

Important: If you do not clear this checkbox, you will not receive the data from Scantrol.

Results

Scantrol data are displayed in Scala2.
