4.3.2 MSK output (connected/live sonars)
SAMM provides three methods for creating a new file during data acquisition: manually, break
by duration, and break by file size (Figure 20).
Figure 20. MSK output Panel
SAMM's default file break method is to break by file size when the size reaches 120 MB.
To change the file break method:
1. Click the Configuration icon.
2. In the MSK output panel in the Mosaic tab, click the radio button corresponding to the
desired method.
3. Click Close .
When breaking manually, the user simply select the “New Swath” icon on the toolbar, or
presses the “B” key on the keyboard. Raw data rates from modern sensors can easily exceed
100KB/sec. While workstations, media, and operating systems can handle large file sizes,
please consider your workflow, memory, and file transfer limitations before deciding to break
files manually. Please also consider that data loss due to corruption is significantly more
catastrophic for single large files than single small files.
SAMM automatically names files by combining the time the file was created with an incremental
number.
4.4 Contacts tab
SAMM can send contacts over the network or a serial connection. Each contact is sent as a
proprietary NMEA sentence ($POIT) (Figure 21).

To send contacts:
1. Click the Configuration icon.
2. In the Contacts tab, click Not configured to configure the connections.
3. Open the Contact Viewer.
