 NaviScan Setup

Add Sensor
Adding a sensor can be performed in two different ways:
• From the „Properties Panel‟ by right-clicking on an item in the „Instrument Type‟ level
• From the menu item „Equipment - Add sensor‟ as visualised below, from left to right:

For a multibeam echo-

sounder, the mount
angles, the result of a
patch test, must be
specified. They can also
be changed in offline/
postprocessing mode

For each instrument

type, a large variety of
drivers are available
NaviScan Setup

Selecting this menu point opens a dialog where a large variety

of online settings can be specified

Selecting this item opens the configuration file (StnAtlas.ini) in

notepad, where the individual ports for the fansweep MB
(bathymetry) and the sidescan can be seen. The IP address is
set in the normal way using interface setup but can be
overwritten for a specific item in the „StnAtlas.ini‟ file

Activating this item will toggle the „Error trace log‟ on and off. The
traces can be used for debugging. NaviScan will log two files,
„dataproc_trace.log‟ and „naviscan_trace.log‟ associated with
Dataproc and with NaviScan online respectively. They are placed
in the NaviScan bin folder
 NaviScan Setup

Online Settings I

This will broadcast the DTM prepared in NaviScan Online to the

Helmsman‟s Display in a user defined cell size. The Port number is 2300
and the IP-address is the address of the NaviPac computer
Data is sent in chunks of # scan, where user can set the „every # scan‟.
For fast update rate but also with higher network load, use each scan (1)
This will send the center depth value on port 5999 and on a serial port
(when enabled) in „NMEA-style‟. The IP address is either the local
address or an address that can be defined in the registry under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EIVA\NaviScan\NaviScan\DepthIP If
the registry key is not defined the information will be sent on local subnet
broadcast. The information can be sent as absolute depths or as raw
altitude (MBES->Seabed distance) – the choice between these options
must be defined when in online mode (in the „Advanced Settings for
Online Viewing‟ option)
 NaviScan Setup

Online Settings II

Export of the binary NED-format for use in connection with online DTM
When an SV-profile is available from SVMon over the network, it will be
loaded as the current SV-profile, if the option is „On‟. Related to Scanfish
This will output the UTC time from the NaviScan computer to a serial
port. For use with Reson 8000 series instruments (that do not accept a
PPS-pulse) in connection with LAN-interface to the MBE
This option will enable a special feature to detect Pipe touchdown
positions in the DTM window when in online mode
Defines the update rate of the related views (DTM) in frames/second
This defines the amount of samples to be displayed in the YT-based
windows in online mode. Large amount of samples means high CPU load
This option is used to help NaviScan to identify which of the two heads of
a dual head EM3002 system is the port head (number 1)
Defines the fixed snippet length for old format 7K sidescan
Minimum and maximum length for new snippet 7K format
NaviScan Setup

Online Settings III

In general terms: do not use this option to overwrite the
beamspacing from Seabat 8000 series echosounders

Enabling this option will generate a position instrument

on the basis of group 102 or 103 attitude data from a
POSMV
A POSMV generates two different attitude output,
termed 102 and 103. NaviScan will use sensor 102 by
default, unless this option is enabled
Convert readings from RDI Doppler Log
This will reverse the heave input from a Seapath
motion sensor
This will reverse the heave input from an Ixsea GC2
motion sensor
This will reverse the heave input from a Ixsea RB
motion sensor
NaviScan Setup

Online Settings IV
The calculation of the displacement is defined here
A choice between three different geoid model methods are
supported: None, EIVA and EGG97. The geoid undulation
value will be used to correct the reference height
Supplementary to the above, it is possible to specify a
manual separation. This fixed value will be subtracted from
the resulting reference height
Pressing this button will convert an ASCII EIVA geoid
file to an EIVA binary geoid file. This file will be used in
online mode, if the „EIVA geoid‟ option has been
chosen
 NaviScan Setup

Fansweep Port Setup

The menu-item ‟Advanced – Fansweep Port setup‟ will open a file, ‟StnAtlas.ini‟,
where the individual ports for a Fansweep Multibeam Echosounder with Sidescan
option can be defined. The instrument is configured in the normal way, via the
equipment/interface configuration. Once this is accomplished, the StnAtlas.ini file
must be configured along the following guidelines:
There are 6 types or packages, for which individual ports must be defined:
a. „fs20_lot‟: Standard parameters for echosounder
b. fs20_depth_1 to _8: Bathymetry packages containing depth
c. fs20_angle_1 to _5: Bathymetry packages containing angle
d. fs20_sidescan_1 to _4: Sidescan packages containing sidescan image data
e. fs20_tpe: Total Propagated Error telegram
f. fs20_offset:a port offset will be added to all the port numbers if this line is
present anywhere in the StnAtlas.ini file eg. fs20_offset=25000
g. To change the IP address for the TPE telegram, which seems to be required for
fs20 (or to change the IP address for a specific item in general) just write the IP
address behind the item, separated by a space: fs20_tpe=3159 192.168.1.89
