Sounding Modes
The sensor sends echogram images to different directions depending on the application and sounding settings.

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 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.

Sounding Modes

The sensor sends echogram images to different directions depending on the application and sounding settings.

Down Looking Application


Down only
	The sensor sends three echogram images of the area below: starboard (1), vertical (2), port (3).


Down + Up
	The sensor sends three echogram images of the area below and one echogram image of the area above (4). The update rate is lower because the pings are distributed between up and down directions. As a result, data arrives more slowly to the receiver.

Up Looking Application


Up only
	The sensor sends three echogram images of the area above: : starboard (1), vertical (2), port (3).


Down + Up
	The sensor sends three echogram images of the area above and one echogram image of the area below (4). The update rate is lower.
