You still can use these two configurations even if you have just only one magnetometer fish; just
ignore the second pair of coordinates.
On this screen you choose which mode (parallel or transverse) fits your actual geometry best and
select it. The next screen presents the selected mode and its parameters:
Note that
Central meridian field will be filled in automatically if you auto-detected GPS.
Other values have to physically measured on the vessel and entered.
The final Interpolator Configuration screen presents the layout of interpolator log file. This file
consists of many columns and includes magnetic field, signal, depth and altimeter readings as
well as the GPS antenna and magnetometer fish positions. The file can be loaded directly into
popular program like Golden Software SURFER or
Geometrics MagMap 2000. It is
recommended that you note which data in which columns are being logged for future reference
during the analysis and interpretation phase of the data reduction and map making.
