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.

Importing a Sensor Configuration

You can apply to a sensor a configuration that has already been made on another sensor.

Before you begin

You have exported a configuration (see Exporting Sensor Configuration) and have the *.A2C or XML configuration file.

About this task

Only the following settings are imported: trawl node, recording settings (SD card, support logs), communication options (virtual water switch, simulation mode), uplink level and frequency, echo sounder settings.

Important: If the new configuration changes the echo sounder settings, you must re-calibrate the sensor for target strength value.

Procedure

Press command + A or click Menu and click User Mode > Advanced.
Click Menu > Import.
From the window that appears, select the *.A2C or XML configuration file.

Results

The configuration is loaded into the sensor.
