6.4.3 Teledyne BlueView 2D Multibeam Imaging Sonar
Similar to M3 interfacing, SAMM interfaces with the BlueView family of 2D imaging sonar
systems by receiving data and metadata strings from the sonar software, ProViewer. ProViewer,
however, must be configured to push data to SAMM. The following instructions and screenshot
were valid with ProViewer 4 at the time of this writing, but may not be up to date. Please consult
the ProViewer manual for the most accurate instructions.
