3. HYPACK Configuration Page Right-click on ‘Hardware’ to add another mobile. For multibeam, check “Include”. That creates a ‘HYSWEEP Survey’ listing. Then click on the listing to add your multibeam, MRU and gyro systems. If you have a multibeam device, check the “HYSWEEP Survey - Include” box. If you have a Sidescan, check the “Sidescan Survey - Include” box. If you have both, check the “HYSWEEP Survey - Include” and configure both of them under Multibeam.

4. Vessel Page: Mobile Tab Specify the Tracking Point for each mobile. This is the point used to determine the distance off-line, distance to-go, etc. Specifying tracking points in Survey gives you more flexibility! You can name each vessel.

5. Vessel Page: Survey Devices Tab This is where you go to specify the devices used on each mobile.

6. Vessel Page: Vessel Shape Tab You can visually inspect the location of your sensors and pick your default 2-D boat shape for HYPACK SURVEY.

7. Devices: Survey Devices Tab Click on a vessel to add devices. Click on an installed device to access the functions and options

8. Devices: Connect Tab Click to get the Device Connection window. You can examine the serial port stream from here: You can test the device from here.

11. One Mobile: GPS & SB Echosounder A ‘mobile’ is an object that will be independently tracked by SURVEY. All ‘devices’ on a mobile can be positioned by applying their offsets to the mobile position and heading. A basic configuration with a GPS and an Echosounder needs 1 mobile. GPS Transducer Primary Mobile = ‘R/V Smokey’ 1 st Device = GPS 2 nd Device = Odom MKIII

12. Add an MRU to your hardware. There is still only one ‘Mobile’. All devices can be positioned by knowing the position and heading of their mobile and by applying their offset information. If you had a multibeam system, the MRU would be installed under the Multibeam equipment listing. GPS Transducer MRU Primary Mobile = ‘Boat’ 1 st Device = GPS 2 nd Device = Odom MKIII 3 rd Device = DMS-05 MRU

13. Example Hardware Configurations Survey vessel with magnetometer installed on towfish with manual layback. Survey vessel with R2Sonic multibeam installed on the vessel. Survey vessel with Edgetech sidescan installed on a towfish. The multibeam and/or sidescan are placed on the main vessel or the towfish mobile depending on the setting in the HYPACK Configuration tab.

26. ECHOSOUNDER SET UP

27. Echosounder: Vertical Offset Outputting Depth Below Transducer (DBT): Vertical Offset is set to the Static Draft (1.0m in example). Outputting Depth Below Surface (DBS): Vertical Offset is set to 0.0 1 m 6 m Sounder outputs 6.0m to computer Sounder outputs 7.0m to computer R/V DBS R/V DBT Correct for the Static Draft (depth of transducer below the static waterline) either in the echosounder (bar check) or in HARDWARE (Vertical Offset). DON’T DO IT BOTH PLACES!

28. Echosounder Configuration: Offsets Offsets: Enter the offsets of the echosounder transducer, relative to the boat origin. Vertical Offset: If your echosounder outputs the Depth Below Surface, then enter a Vertical Offset = 0.0 If your echosounder outputs the Depth Below Transducer, then enter Vertical Offset = Static Draft. Z = positive downward! Latency: For almost all single beam sounders, enter Latency = 0.00. Enter the combined latency between the GPS and Echosounder determined in the SINGLE BEAM LATENCY program as the latency for the GPS device.

29. Echosounder Configuration Functions: Available functions may differ, depending on the echosounder. As a minimum, you want to select ‘Depth Available functions may differ, depending on the echosounder. As a minimum, you want to select ‘Depth’. Options: ‘Use for matrix update’: Paints a matrix with the color-coded depth data. ‘Paper Annotation’: Enables the output of annotation to the echosounder at event marks. ‘Record device specific messages’: Enables the storage of acoustic data for certain sounders. Certain echosounders can provide the acoustic data for each ping, allowing the hydrographer to review the data during processing and manually re-digitize the depth data, if necessary. (Requires ‘Record Device Specific Messages.)

30. MRUs in HYPACK

31. I have an MRU. Is it being used along with a multibeam sonar? Configure it in HYSWEEP ® HARDWARE. Do you also want to use the HPR values in HYPACK ® SURVEY? Add the HYSWEEP.DLL in HYPACK ® HARDWARE You are done! How is the MRU integrated? Make sure the ‘Heave’ function for the echosounder is enabled in HYPACK® HARDWARE Add the device driver for the MRU in HYPACK® HARDWARE. You are done! Good for you! Yes! No Through the echosounder device driver. Through its own device driver

32. Connecting your MRU Computer MRU Echosounder Heave-corrected soundings Raw soundings HPR Data You can do it this way …..We prefer you do it this way. This is recommended only if your echosounder can output the raw depth and heave measurement as separate entities. Select the specific device driver for your MRU and configure it! If you echosounder can output uncorrected depths and MRU data, then we have no objection!

33. Where to put the MRU? Try to mount your MRU at the center of mass of your vessel. If you can’t do this, then mount it as close as possible to the center and carefully measure the offsets. MRU GPS XDucer
