Scanner Tilt Controls
The scanner tilt mechanism automatically compensates for the pitch and roll of the vessel
caused by wave motion.
Motion sensors and a tilting optics mechanism ensure that the scanning optics remain at
the correct level to see the target.
Scanner Tilt Modes
The scanner can be operated in either of the following tilt modes:
•
Auto - The scanner tilt automatically adjusts to compensate for draught changes as
the vessel loads or unloads, and for gradual tidal movement. Also effective when the
elevation angle of targets increases as the vessel approaches a platform.
•
Manual - This mode is used to manually tilt the optics to reach the target. For
example, when station-keeping close to a platform where the targets are mounted
high up and the CyScan optics must be tilted up at them. (See
Manually Tilting the
Scanner
on page 26).
The current tilt mode and leveller angle are displayed in the ‘Tilt Mode:’ section of the Side
Bar.
