Asuitablelocationmustbeselectedbeforethecalibrationcanstart.Thefollowing
requirementsmustbemet:
•Depth:100metres(Depthvariationsbetween50and250metresareaccepted.)
•Seaoor:Smooth
•Seaconditions:Calm
Thequalityofthecalibrationandmeasurementsdependonthequalityofthesensors
connectedtotheechosoundersystem.Thebasiccalibrationofscaleandyawismadeby
comparingtheCourseOverGround(COG)andSpeedOverGround(SOG)datafrom
thecurrentindicatorandtheGPS.
Theinformationprovidedbythecalibrationisenteredintotheechosoundersoftwareas
operationalparameters.Thisisdoneautomatically.
Calibrationsummary
Thecalibrationprocessforvelocitymeasurementsinvolvesseveralsteps.Oncethe
necessarypreparationshavebeenmadeyoumustcollectthecalibrationdata,andthen
nallyprocessthese.
Prerequisites
Thefollowingprerequisitesmustbemetforasuccessfulcalibration:
•Therelevantcurrentindicatorhardwarehasbeeninstalledintheechosounderuser
interface.
•Aglobalpositioningsystem(GPS)isconnectedtotheechosoundersystem.Theinput
fromtheGPSsystemisenabledandcorrect.
•Aheadingsensor(gyrocompass)isconnectedtotheechosoundersystem.Thesensoris
turnedonandinnormaloperation.
•Topreventinterference,allotherhydroacousticinstrumentsmustbeturnedoff.
Optional:Amotionreferenceunit(MRU)isconnectedtotheechosoundersystem.The
sensorprovidesdataontheKMBinarydatagramformat.
