2. In Scala2, open the control panels and in trawl data, click Doors Positioning . Check that you
receive door positioning data.
Note: By default, Scala2 uses warp lengths to know the distance of the trawl doors
from the boat. If you have both a winch control system and sensors sending slant
distances, Scala2 will use warp lengths only. If you need to use slant distances rather
than warp lengths, select
Use slant distances from sensors rather than warp lengths in
Trawl Modeling . If you receive neither warp lengths nor slant distances, you can select
Estimate horizontal distance from depths but the distance will be less accurate.
3. Connect a GPS to Scala2 and Olex.
4. Using a serial to USB cable, connect the USB end to the Mac computer and the serial end to a
serial port on the Olex machine (ttyS0/1/2/3).
