Simrad TV80 Reference Manual
Manually entering the calibration values of the roll and pitch
measurements of a PX MultiSensor mk2
If you wish to use the PX Multisensor to measure the pitch and roll of the trawl doors, you
must calibrate the sensor. You can calibrate a sensor in the
dialog box. If you know the door installation offset values, you can enter manually the
calibration values.
Prerequisites
The
PX MultiSensor Configurator
• You have connected the sensor to you computer through the configurator cable.
• There is a receiver unit connected to the system.
Context
Whenever a sensor is mounted on a trawl door, the pitch and roll measurements need to be
calibrated. If you do not calibrate your sensors you will not know if the pitch and roll
readings are correct. If existing sensors have been replaced, or new sensors have been
installed, a new calibration is always required. If the door installation offset values are
known and you need to perform a new calibration - if you lose a catch monitoring sensor
and need a new one or if you are have several doors and want to switch them, for example -
you can enter the values manually, hence saving a lot of extra time.
