1 Introduction
1.1 SeaBat Sonar UI
This manual is the new manual for the RESON SeaBat Sonar UI.
The chapter brief explanation discusses how to set up the Sonar UI and
to start the sonar (see page 3).
The chapter general information discusses how the panes work and what
options are available in the toolbar (see page 5).
The chapter Operation discusses the operation mode of the Sonar UI.
The different panes that can be used in conjunction with the screens are
explained in detail (see page 21).
The last chapter Service discusses how to check the status of the
complete sonar system by viewing the system diagram and BITE
information (see page 77).
Appendix Dual head configuration discusses the dual head configuration
in more detail (see page 87)
Appendix ‘Raw Data Recording’ discusses logging of data records for
different RESON configuration schemes in more detail (see page 93).
This manual is also available as a help file in the Sonar UI. Use F1 or
in the toolbar of the Sonar UI to open the help file.

2 Quick Guide
2.1 Introduction This chapter will give a brief explanation how to start the Sonar UI, what is
needed for using the Sonar and how to improve the performance after the
sonar is pinging.
The Sonar UI requires OpenGL version 3.30 or higher to function properly
(check the specification of the used video card).
2.2 Steps
a. Before the Sonar UI is started a valid license has to be installed in
the 7KControlCenter to have certain features available. When the
license is not yet installed, a valid license file can be dragged and
dropped at the 7k Control Center or at the Sonar UI. See the
Operation Manual of the sonar for more details.
b. It is possible to open the Sonar UI (sonar type depended) from:
The 7KcontrolCenter
Select in the 7KControlCenter the option New Sonar UI and click
on the Start button to open the Sonar UI.
Figure 2-1 Selection and Start of New Sonar UI
Opening the desktop Sonar UI shortcut
The shortcut is created if the Sonar UI was successfully installed
on the computer.
Figure 2-2 Sonar UI shortcut
c. For some sonar types (T-series) a dialog box opens to specify the
transmit cable length.

It is essential the correct cable length is specified. A wrong
cable length can damage the system!
d. The Sonar UI opens in the Operation mode with screens displayed
and a normalization process runs indicated by a progress bar.
If the SUI runs on another computer as the sonar processor then the
IP address of the sonar processor is selected from the sonar UI
toolbar. (The address is listed in the drop down list when the
7kCenter is detected).
e. The external clock with 1PPS and the sound velocity probe have to
be interfaced with the system. This can be done in the IO Module
(see page 35).
f. For roll and/or pitch stabilization the motion sensor has to be
interfaced to the right port on the sonar system.
In the hardware the roll stabilization must enabled and the correct
settings selected (see page 50).
g. Check the 1PPS is received and the roll / pitch stabilization is
working.
h. Open the Main pane to start the sonar (see page 23). Set the power
and the gain to start the sonar pinging. Change the range so the data
is properly displayed in the wedge (see page 23).
i. Select the right frequency, pulse type and beam mode in the
Advanced pane (see page 27)
j. When the sonar is pinging then in Service can be monitored if the
complete sonar system is working (see page 77).
k. To get a better bottom detection, select the Depth, Range or
Adaptive gate in the Main pane. (See page 25)
l. Set the Tracker on to get a fully automated mode of the operation
(see page 17).
m. Before the recording of the sonar data can be started the record
selection and the path for the recorded files have to set in the
Recording pane (see page 47).
n. Use the Display pane to set the right settings for the screens (see
page 44).

3 General Information
3.1 Introduction To setup and operate the Sonar in the Sonar UI, use:
The Panes. (see the next section)
The Sonar UI Toolbar (see page 12 ).
The screen toolbar and a Context menu. (see page 19)
3.2 Arranging the Panes
The Sonar UI uses tabs on the right side and at the bottom to open the
settings panes, the control panes and the messages pane of the Sonar
UI.
3.2.1 Panes
The settings panes on the right side are:
Display
Detection
Recording
Hardware
IO Module
Pipe
The three panes (control and messages) at the bottom are:
Main
Advanced
Messages
This section will explain how to open, dock, drag and hide the panes.
See the chapter Operation on page 21 for more information about the
functions of the different panes.

2. Click the tab to open a pane.
3. Click the tab again, or move the cursor outside the pane and click to
hide the pane again.
3.2.1.2 Docking
It is also possible to use
the context menu of the
pane to switch between
Auto Hide and Docking
modes (see page 11).
1. Click on the pin at the upper right corner of the pane to keep
the pane from auto-hiding. The pin will change to , the pane is
now in Docking mode (pinned) and will stay open even when
clicking outside the pane.
2. Click on to undock the pane.
