Displaying Trawl Positioning from Scala2 on SeapiX
You can export trawl positioning data coming from Scala2 to SeapiX application.
Before you begin
• You must have a GPS and door positioning sensors.
• Documented SeapiX version: version 8.6.0
Procedure
1. 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.
2. To configure the export of trawl positioning data:
a)
Click Menu > Settings .
b) Under the NMEA Outputs tab, click Add .
c) In Port Settings , depending on your installation select Serial port , UDP port or TCP Server
and configure the port.
d) In Data to Emit , select Emit trawl positioning sentence and select Best sentence for Seapix
($PTSAL) .
