Note: C:\Contour
Maps is the default
directory, this can
be changed in the
Ship Setup Configu-
ration in WASSP.
Note: Recording
raw data using the
data recorder at this
point will provide
evidence of the sys-
tems performance
immediately after
commissioning.
This can help iden-
tify the source of
failures later in the
life of the system.
Note: No mention
has been made of
training the opera-
tor on how to use
their system. If
there is time and
the operator can
spare some time
during the sea trial
they may appreciate
being run through a
few of the basics on
how to get started
to supplement the
operator manual.

Sea Trial - Commissioning Step 19 (Optional) : Clear Contour Maps
As the system has been in various stages of configuration over the course of this
Commissioning and thus all of the mapping before this point will have configuration
errors in it. If the skipper is willing you can clear the maps so that newly recorded
data will be free of any sea-trial miss-configuration artifacts. A procedure to do this
follows:
1) EXIT the WASSP Program.
2) Open Windows Explorer and Navigate to C:\Contour Maps.
3) To make a backup of the Contour Maps copy this entire directory to another
location at this time. To remove all sea-floor mapping information Delete all of the
directories inside this directory. To restore from a backup, copy previously backed
up folders into this directory.
4) Restart the WASSP GUI application.
Sea Trial - Commissioning Step 20 (Optional) : Map an area
Now that everything is configured as well as you can configure it you can check
your work and showcase the WASSP systems performance. Find an area with
some feature, sand waves, depth variance, rocks - whatever is handy. Have the
skipper map an area, ideally with parallel tracks and 'mow the lawns' so that the
coverage between each track on the contour display has some overlap.
It is a good idea to take a copy of raw data recorded during this Mapping as
the data can be analysed in closer detail at a desk and can be compared to
any subsequent data received from the vessel and may help isolation of a post
commissioning fault.
Commissioning Step 21: Copy Final System Configuration
Now the system has been configured we will take a copy of this ships configuration
for future reference. This involves copying a small file onto a USB memory stick
such as the technician dongle. At this stage any raw data collected should be
archived and stored. The location of Raw data files will depend on what location
was specified, typically the default is My Documents if this is not changed.
1)
Ensure the WASSP Application is Closed and that all configuration has been
finalised.
2)
Open the Folder C:\Program Files\WASSP Ltd.\WASSP\WMB160/80F\Main
3)
Copy the File WASSPPRO.INI to external storage (rename or archive in
such a way as to note what ship this file was taken from for ease of file
management).
