HYPACK的硬件OFFSET设置问题
1 Hardware Setup-Offsets and Origins(硬件的OFFSET设置)
Weoften get questions from users who are configuring their hardware and aregetting lost in the maze of variables to consider in determining the origin,and changing offset signs. The key below is written to help guide you withthese questions. Here's how it works.
Choosethe first outline level that fits your setup. Now, under that heading, choosethe second level heading that describes your setup. Continue progressing downthrough the headings until a setup table follows your last choice.
Thesetup table tells you what to use for the origin, which Hardware program eachdevice should be entered in, and the signs used for the offset measurements.
Note:In all setups, except for the GPS, latency is usually zero. You may enter avalue initially from the GPS manual or start with it at zero, but you shouldrun a Patch Test and adjust this setting accordingly. Sonar systems usuallyautomatically compensate for latency. Latency is not an issue for MRUs andGyros.

· Horizontal offsets are positive forward and starboard · Z offsets: o Transducer: 0--included in draft correction of device when calibrated o GPS: Positive upward |
2.Multibeam
Thereare two possible options for setting up multibeam systems. Solution A maintainsthe origin always at the vessel's pivot point. Solution B uses the transducerhead as the origin in Hypack® Hardware, while Hysweep® Hardware uses thevessel's pivot point. In this case, the helmsman display data is based on thetransducer, enabling more accurate positioning of the transducer over the surveyline.
Notealso, in most cases, the rotational offsets of the gyro and MRU are calibratedduring installation to the vessel. Any additional error will be compensated forby the Patch Test values that are then applied to the transducer.

II. Multiple Vessels
A. Towfish
TowfishOffsets and Measurements
Offsetsfor any devices on the vessel are measured from the vessel origin.
Thecablecnt.dll and towcable.dll in Hypack® Hardware uses the towfish depth,Z?offset and corrected cable length to calculate the horizontal distance from theA?frame connection point to the towfish. That distance is added to the Y?offsetto calculate the layback.
Offsetson the Towfish are from the connection point of the cable to the towfish. Thehopper arms on a dredge are also configured with reversed horizontal offsetsand from the connection point of the arm.
2 关于TOWFISH的注意问题
Note: When configuring offsets for the cablecnt.dllor towcable.dll, and the Towfish or other Mobiles in the Hypack®Hardware program, regardless of what type of mobile you have, port and starboard offsets specified in the Offsetsdialog must have their signs reversed from the way you normally express offsets for other devices.

B. Independent Multiple Vessels
Acentral vessel can track multiple vessels via radio modems. Set up the deviceson each vessel individually. The NMEA.dll can be setup to output GGA, VTG andDBT messages via the radio modem to the data collection vessel. You can alsouse the Shared Memory NMEAOUTPUT program to send the desired data to thecollection vessel. If you will be tracking more than one vessel in this manner,the radio modems must be of different frequencies so that the collectingcomputer can differentiate between devices.
Thedata collection vessel will have a NMEA.dll configured for each incomingmessage to receive the data and record data from each sensor separately. Thesurvey screen on the collection vessel can display all of the vessels fromwhich it is receiving data.
