1 Introduction
1.1 SeaBat UI This manual is the new user manual for the SeaBat UI.
Before the SeaBat UI will be explained how it works, a brief explanation is
given how to setup the SeaBat UI and to start the sonar (see page 3).
After this the general information will be discussed; how the panes are
working and what the options are in the toolbar (see page 5).
In the chapter Operation the operation mode of the SeaBat UI is
discussed. The different panes that can be used in conjunction with the
screens will be explained in detail (see page 17).
In the last chapter Service the status of the complete sonar system; the
temperature, voltage, communication status and other parameters is
discussed with explaining the system diagram and how the operator can
see the BITE information (see page 61).
This manual is also available as help file in the SeaBat UI. Use F1 or in
the toolbar of the SeaBat UI to open the help file.
