3.8 System Activation and Test
After the connections to the 2000 Topside Processor and the 2000 Digital Telemetry Link have been
completed, the 2000 Series Combined Side Scan Sonar and Sub-Bottom Profiling System can be activated
and some pre-deployment checks performed prior to deployment of the tow vehicle as a test to verify
that the system is operating properly.
When performing the system activation and test, refer to sub-section 3.5 R

addition, should the system not activate properly or the pre-deployment checks fail, refer to section

for assistance on how to isolate and correct the problem.
NOTE: The DISCOVER software requires license activation which is
performed either directly in the tow vehicle or by inserting a dongle into
an available USB port on the Topside Processor. If in the tow vehicle, no
action is required.
