Check that you see Marport Captain  icon in the desktop taskbar. If you do not see 
it: close, then open Mosa2. The icon should appear in the taskbar.

Note: 

 Marport Captain  is a program running in the background. It allows 

Mosa2  automatic opening and displays shortcuts to Mosa2  and Scala 
applications installed on the computer. It should not be closed.

If the problem persists, install Mosa2  again.

 At the end of step 2 of the configuration wizard, the sensor does not respond. Mosa2 

displays a red cross and the Configuration Cable LED is red.

Check that no other instance of Mosa2 application is already running on the 
computer. If this is the case, close both applications, then open only one.

Or else, connect the sensor to a charger and wait until it is fully charged.

 The sensor has been disconnected from Mosa2.

Check that the Configuration Cable  is not connected to a USB hub. The 
Configuration Cable  must be connected directly to the computer.

If the computer goes to sleep mode, the sensor may be disconnected. Change the 
settings on your computer to increase the time before sleep mode.

If the problem persists, connect the sensor to a charger and wait until it is fully 
charged. Then try again to connect.

 Mosa2  displays a critical error message.

Disconnect both USB connector and three-pin plug. Then, connect again the 
Configuration Cable. If the message is still displayed, it means there is an issue 
with the sensor’s components. Contact Marport support.

The echogram has a lot of interference

 There are interference from environmental noise or other equipment such as 

echosounders. You need to increase the level of the echogram filter in Scala2.

Important: 

 Increase the level of the echogram filter only if the echogram has a 

lot of interference. Be aware that this filter will remove small targets.
