What to do if iXBlue Car Navigation system shows Mirror Solution error?
- B
  Brittany StoneAug 2, 2025
  If the iXBlue Car Navigation system reports a 'Mirror Solution' error, it means one of the hydrophones isn't providing good data due to noise or being out of service, while the other three are working fine. Here's what you can do: * Check the SNR in the MMI. * Make sure the issue isn't constant and doesn't always affect the same hydrophone in the Acoustic Array Status. * Lower the general ambient noise by reducing speed or adjusting the propellers' variable pitch.

Why does my iXBlue Car Navigation system show Filter Attenuation?
- O
  Olivia VillegasAug 12, 2025
  If your iXBlue Car Navigation system displays 'Filter Attenuation' too often, it indicates very noisy raw data is triggering a smoothing and predicting filter. You should check the acoustic noise of the ship.
