You need to configure sounding settings for both Slant Range sensors.

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 Sounding Frequencies
    You need to configure sounding settings for both Slant Range sensors.
  - Configuring Slant Range Positioning Settings
    You need to configure the settings of the signal sending positioning data.
- 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 Sounding Frequencies

You need to configure sounding settings for both Slant Range sensors.

Before you begin

The sensor is connected to Mosa2.

Procedure

Click the tab Pinger.
From Ping Down Frequency Pinger, enter a frequency for the transmitting hydrophone signal. We recommend:
- Bottom trawling: 34,000 kHz
- Mid-water trawling: 56,000 kHz
From Pinger Boat/Channel Code, enter a frequency for the signal answering to the hydrophone.
From Pinger Delay for Response, enter a different delay for each sensor: we recommend 500 ms for port Slant Range and 600 ms for starboard Slant Range.

Note: This setting is the delay of response to the hydrophone. It corresponds to the time between when the sensor receives the signal and when the sensor sends the response signal to the hydrophone.
The second sensor must have a delay of minimum 100 ms more than the first sensor. This is to make sure positioning data from each sensor is differentiated when received by the hydrophone. Without a delay between the signals, the data is not recognized.
Click Apply and make sure there is a green check mark .
