8.3 Configuring COM Ports
There are three available COM ports on the Topside Interface Box to provide the necessary information

heave), and time. This appendix explains how to configure the three COM ports depending on the type of
sensors used.
NOTE:
The Discover Bathymetric Software should complete Most COM
port configurations.
