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 application, using either the Dock or the Configuration Cable.
- Battery Information
- About the Virtual Water-Switch Option
  Mosa2 has a virtual water-switch option that changes the conditions under which the sensor is running.
- Diagnostic Information
  Scala2 and Mosa2 applications warn the user in case of water ingress in the sensor.
- Configuring Door Spread Settings
  Configure the communication settings between the spread sensors.
- Configuring the Trawl Node
  You need to give a trawl node to the sensor. It is the number corresponding to the position of the sensor on the trawl.
- Configuring the Uplink Frequency and Power
  Configure the settings of the communication link between the sensor and the vessel.
- Configuring Positioning Signal Settings
  Configure the following settings if the sensor has the positioning option.
- Configuring the Echo Sounder
  Configure the echo sounder settings of the Door Explorer.
- Calibrating the Pitch and Roll
  You need to calibrate the pitch and roll of the sensors when placed on the trawl doors.
- Applying Offsets to Measurements
  You can apply offsets to temperature and depth measurements if the measured values does not correspond to the environment of the sensor.
- Testing Measures
  You can test the measures taken by the sensor (e.g. battery level, temperature, depth) to check that there are no faults.
- SD Card Recording
  This topic explains the SD card recording feature (this feature is optional).
- Saving a Configuration on Mosa2
  You can save different configurations of the sensor to be able to quickly change the configuration when you change your fishing method.
- Exporting Sensor Configuration
  You can export the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2 on a file. You can afterward use this file when configuring a similar sensor.
- Importing a Sensor Configuration
  You can apply to a sensor a configuration that has already been made on another sensor.

SD Card Recording

This topic explains the SD card recording feature (this feature is optional).

Overview

Data recorded on the SD card are in higher resolution, with a higher refreshing rate and you can see target strength values without uplink sound transmission loss.

You can see on Mosa2 main page if the SD card recording feature is activated:

Additional settings

We recommend to activate the support logs to help support teams for error diagnosis.

Go to the Communications page, then click in Recording.
Activate Additional support Log.

Getting data from the SD card

The last 99 recorded sensor data files and last 99 battery files are displayed. Two types of files are on the SD card:

Files containing measures recorded by the sensor. Their name begins by "450". These data are more precise and recorded more often than data received on the receiver. One file corresponds to a tow (time between entering and leaving water). The recording date displayed in the second column is synchronized with your computer time.
BATT = Files created when the sensor is charging (1 file per charging cycle). They are useful for support teams for troubleshooting.

Note: The first time the sensor connects to Mosa2 or if the sensor desynchronizes, a clock with a warning icon

is displayed in the top toolbar. Click it to synchronize the time of the SD card with the computer's time.

Note: When downloading the files, we recommend to connect the sensor to Mosa2 using the Dock or the Configuration Cable for a better transfer of data.

Press command + E or click Menu and click User Mode > Expert.
On the first page, click in Data Recording.

Recorded files are displayed. Click the title of the columns to sort them by their name, date or size.
