Verifying the communication with the motion
reference unit (MRU)
The information from a motion reference unit (MRU) (normally heave, roll and pitch
information) is imported into the EK80 to increase the accuracy of the echo data. The
communication with the sensor is tested. This task is only applicable is you are using an
external motion reference unit on your EK80.
Prerequisites
