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.
- Calibrating the Catch Sensor
  You need to calibrate the catch sensor to make sure you have correct catch measures. This procedure applies for both Catch Explorer and Catch sensors.
- Testing the Catch Sensor on Mosa2
  You need to test the catch sensor to check if the empty/full status works correctly. You can do this regularly.
- Catch Explorer Specific Settings
  You need to set these settings for a Catch Explorer sensor.
- Configuring Catch Sensor Telegrams
  If you have a Catch sensor (40kHz), you need to configure the telegrams it transmits. This does not apply for Catch Explorer 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.

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.

Before you begin

You have finished configuring the sensor.
The sensor is connected to Mosa2.

Procedure

Click the tab Configuration.
Click Config to XML.
Click Apply.
The settings are displayed.
To save the settings:
- Click Save to file to download the XML file on the computer.
- Or, click Copy to clipboard, then press Cmd + V on a word processor like Pages to paste the contents.
Change the name of the XML file saved on your computer.

Note: When you export the sensor settings, the XML file always has the same name. Changing its name will prevent you from overwriting it the next time you download sensor settings.
