System Operation
3.9.9 Oriented
Defines whether the sonar array is oriented with the projector forward or aft of the
hydrophone. The two selections available are:
ProjFwd:
The Sonar Head is oriented with the projector installed
forward (in the direction of travel).
ProjAft:
The Sonar Head is oriented with the projector installed
aft (opposite to the direction of travel). This is the pre-
ferred orientation.
3.9.10 HeadSync
Enables the operator to define the sonar operation as a stand-alone system or as
part of a dual-array system.
OneHead:
The sonar operates as a stand-alone system with no
synchronization.
Master:
The sonar operates in the dual-head mode as the
master unit.
Slave:
The sonar operates in the dual-head mode as the
slave unit.
NOTE
For single-head systems, the operator MUST select OneHead. Any other selec-
tion will result in a ping rate reduction of as much as 50%.
