11. Separate INS Software: Not applicable for iWBMSe, iWBMS & iWBMSh users running
Applanix firmware >9.03 and sonar 10.4.0. Setup NovAtel Connect (Compact) or Applanix
POSView (iWBMS). Enter in the measured offset to the primary antenna and separation
distance to secondary antenna (POSView). Also enter the offsets from reference to CoR
in the acquisition software. See below appendices.
12. Acquisition: Setup the acquisition software of choice, e.g. HYPACK, QINSy, etc. Offsets
to be with respect to the vessel center of rotation. The driver for the WBMS will be the
RESON 7125 or 71xx. Newer software, the driver is called NORBIT.
13. Tides: For verification that the INS system is ready for survey when using RTK, it is a
good practice to use a time series graph of the tide values. As soon at the graph stabilizes
on a narrow value range the system should be ready for survey.
14. Bar Check: Run a bar check to validate sonar draft.
15. Sound Speed: Verify the sound speed reported by the sensor on the sonar by comparing
it to another sensor, e.g. a sound speed profiler.
16. Patch Test: Run a patch test each time the sonar is installed or moved from its previous
location.
