System Overview
CyScan is a high accuracy marine laser sensor. It provides positional information to a
vessel’s DP system, allowing it to keep station relative to a target structure or another vessel.
The CyScan system contains the following main parts:
•
CyScan Sensor
•
CyScan Client Software
•
CyScan Targets
CyScan Sensor
The CyScan sensor is a rotating laser scanner. It is mounted on the vessel’s superstructure;
typically on the wheel-house.
The CyScan sensor can be installed in three ways:
•
Ethernet Client, Single Serial DP (see page 19)
•
Ethernet Client, Dual Serial DP (see page 20)
•
Serial Client, Single Serial DP (see page 21)

CyScan Client Software
The CyScan Service Interface (CSI) and CyScan Dashboard are software applications
used to configure, control and monitor the CyScan system. They are installed on one or
more marine-specification Type 2 Marine Processor or other computers running Microsoft
Windows
TM
, usually mounted on the bridge near to the controls of the vessel’s DP system.
The CSI is used for system configuration and replaces the Service Access mode of the
Dashboard or Console in earlier versions of the CyScan system.
The Dashboard gives the DP operator control of the CyScan system and the data stream
being fed to the DP system.
The Ethernet version of the Dashboard can run on multiple computers across a network,
with one Dashboard in Command mode and the others in Monitoring mode.

CyScan Targets
One or more retro-reflective CyScan targets are mounted on the target
platform or vessel. The precise range and bearing of each target is used
to calculate the exact position of the CyScan vessel relative to the target
structure or vessel.
See on page 37 for more detail on CyScan targets.
