The Altimeter Configuration Window allows you to select a serial communication port that you will use
to accept data from the altimeter and to set its communication parameters.
The altimeter test allows you to see the serial data transmitted by an altimeter connected to the topside
computer. The values shown will not have any meaning until the altimeter is immersed in water.

Fixed coil alti-
tude
If there is no altimeter fitted and the design of the ROV allows the coils to remain at a fixed altitude
above the seabed, enter this altitude in centimetres.
Altimeter off-
set
Enter the height difference, in centimetres, between the reference line of the 350 coil array and the
transducer face of the altimeter.
Use a positive value if the altimeter is above the coils.
