5.5.9 Roll Stabilize
When a motion sensor is interfaced to the SIM, the data can be stabilised for the roll motion of the
vessel. With the advanced roll stabilisation, in the Sonic 2024/2022, there is no need to stop
recording or go off line to change between roll stabilised and non-stabilised mode, nor is there a
need to go into the data collection software and identify the data as roll stabilised. The R2Sonic roll
stabilisation has been developed based on recommended methods from various data collection
software companies.
Roll stabilisation only works within the 160° maximum sector, any swath rotation or large sector size
(opening angle) that attempts to go beyond the 160° limit will cause the system to stop roll
stabilisation.
As stated in the SIM interfacing, it is recommended that the motion data be at the highest update
rate possible.
