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.

Configuring Trawl Settings

You need to configure trawl settings to display the trawl on the chart and vessel 3D overview.

Procedure

Click Menu > Settings.
From the tab Trawl, complete Headline (H), Bridle (B) and Sweepline (S) with accurate measurements of your trawl gear.

Note: If you receive neither warp lengths nor slant distances, you can select Estimate horizontal distance from depths in Trawl Modeling > Doors Positioning System. You will get an estimation of the horizontal distance between the door sensors and the boat calculated from the depth of the sensors.
