Spread Sensor Specific Settings
Defining the Starboard and Clump Sensor Type
You need to define the type of Starboard and Clump (if applicable) sensors that are installed.

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
  - Defining the Trawl Geometry
    If you have firmware for twin trawls, you need to define for the Master Spread Sensor the type of trawl that you are using.
  - Defining the Starboard and Clump Sensor Type
    You need to define the type of Starboard and Clump (if applicable) sensors that are installed.
  - Configuring Spread Sensor Telegrams
    You need to configure telegrams sent by the Master, Starboard and Clump (if applicable) sensors.
  - Configuring PI Compatible Spread Sensors
    You can configure Marport PI compatible spread sensors to communicate with Simrad PI receiver.
  - Configuring the Spread Sounding Channel
    For XL bottles produced before S/N 3636606 (see sticker on the end cap), you need to configure correctly the up and down channels.
  - Calibrating the Pitch and Roll
    You need to calibrate the pitch and roll of the sensors when they are placed in the sensor pockets.
- Door Sounder Specific Settings
  You need to set these settings for a Door Sounder sensor.
- 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.

Defining the Starboard and Clump Sensor Type

You need to define the type of Starboard and Clump (if applicable) sensors that are installed.

About this task

If you have a Starboard and a Clump sensor, you need to do this task for both of them.

Procedure

Connect the Starboard or Clump sensor to Mosa2.
Click the tab Spread.

From Slave Sensor Type, choose according to your type of installation:

Single Trawl:


Sensor	Slave Sensor Type
Starboard	Starboard for single/double distances doorspread

Twin trawls with double distance:


Sensor	Slave Sensor Type
Starboard	Starboard for single/double distances doorspread
Clump	Clump for double distances doorspread

Twin trawls with triple distance:


Sensor	Slave Sensor Type
Starboard	Starboard for triple distances doorspread
Clump	Clump for triple distances doorspread

Click Apply and make sure there is a green check mark .
