Sensor Configuration
Learn how to configure the sensor settings.
- Installing Mosa2
  If Mosa2 is not already installed on the computer, you need to install it to configure the sensor.
- Connecting the Sensor to Mosa2
  To configure the sensor, you need to connect it to Mosa2.
- Configuring a WiFi Network
  If you have your own WiFi network, you can configure the HDTE to automatically connect to it. If no WiFi network is configured, the HDTE automatically turns itself into a WiFi access point.
- Sounding Modes
  The sensor can send pings according to three different sounding modes.
- Configuring Uplink, Up and Down Settings
  You can configure different settings for uplink, down and up sounding.
- Configuring Measurements Sending Sequence
  You can configure the order and types of measurements (e.g. temperature, pitch, roll...) sent by the uplink to the receiver.
- Getting SD Card High Resolution Data
  You can download and replay data recorded on the sensor SD card. These data are in higher resolution and you can see target strength values without uplink sound transmission loss.
- 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 for Record Keeping
  You can export the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2 in order to keep track of the sensor configuration settings.
- Exporting Sensor Configuration for Receiver
  You can export the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2 in an xml file. You can afterwards use this xml file when adding the sensor to a receiver.

Sounding Modes

The sensor can send pings according to three different sounding modes.

Down 1


	Sensor sends pings towards down direction (1) only. You can see fish going into the trawl. Pings are sent quicker than with the other modes, so more data is received, which enables a better horizontal resolution. This mode is recommended for better quality echogram images.

Down 1 + Up


	Sensor sends pings towards down (1) and up (2) directions. With the down sounding, you can see fish going into the trawl. With the up sounding you can see if fish are missing the trawl and passing above the headrope. This way, you can correct the trawl position. Fewer pings are sent because they are distributed between the 2 directions. As a result, data arrives slower to the receiver and echograms are of lesser quality.

Down 1 + Down 2


	Sensor sends 2 consecutive pings towards down direction (1 and 2). This mode is useful if you need to send two different pings towards the down direction. For example, sending one short and one long ping, or sending one low frequency and one higher frequency ping. Like down + up mode, fewer pings are sent because they are distributed between the two different down soundings. As a result, data arrives slower to the receiver and echograms are of lesser quality.
