How to use USBL system to view position of the ROV
Please follow these steps in order.
4.1
Mount local beacon
When mounting the local beacon underneath the boat, ensure that the bar
between the two arrows is pointing in the same direction as the bow of the
boat. This is so the visual representation of the boat will appear correctly
oriented in the Boxfish USBL app.
Position the local beacon below the boat and orient it so that the bar
inbetween the arrows is pointing in the same direction as the bow of the
boat.
