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 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.
- Sounding Modes
  The sensor sends echogram images to different directions depending on the application and sounding settings.
- Configuring the Echo Sounder
  You need to configure the echo sounder settings so that they correspond to the fishing conditions.
- About the Automatic Range Mode
  The sensor has an automatic range mode that is useful to get better quality echograms when the trawl is close to the bottom.
- Applying Offsets to Measurements
  You can apply offsets to temperature and depth measurements if the measured values do 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.
- Memory Card Recording
  This topic explains the memory 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.

Configuring the Uplink Frequency and Power

Configure the settings of the communication link between the sensor and the vessel.

Procedure

Go to the Communications page, then click in Uplink.
Enter a frequency for the communication with the vessel. Default is 44,000 Hz.

Drag the slider to change the power of the uplink signal.

Note: A higher level of uplink power reduces the battery lifetime.


Recommended uplink powers	Conditions	Estimated battery life
33%	Works for most conditions.	104 hours
100%	Sensor is far from vessel - e.g. more than 800 m depending on conditions, high depth High level of interferences Issues receiving data Low SNR	18 hours
