Verifying the communication with the motion reference unit
(MRU)
The information from a motion reference unit (MRU) (normally heave, roll and pitch
information) is imported into the EK80 to increase the accuracy of the echo data. The
communication with the sensor is tested. This task is only applicable is you are using an
external motion reference unit on your EK80.
Prerequisites
The EK80 hardware units are installed as specified in this manual.
• The sensor is connected to a communication port on the EK80. The sensor is turned
on and in normal operation.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
• All relevant vessel drawings, installation reports and/or measurement results are
available.
• The EK80 system is turned on and operates normally.
• The vessel is berthed or at sea.
Neither tools nor instruments are required. For connections and communication
parameters, see the relevant end-user documentation from the sensor manufacturer.
Context
A motion reference unit (MRU) measures the vessel’s pitch and roll movements in the
sea. The information provided by the motion sensor is used by the EK80 to stabilize the
beams and the echo presentation.
