SAMM User Manual506.4 Connect To…This section describes how to connect SAMM with each brand of supported imaging sonar andscanning sonar. For each sonar system, default acquisition and processing parameters areprovided, the user may set their own. The following settings are common to all: Resolution: The size of one pixel in centimeter. Note that setting too small a value maycause long processing times and dropped packets. Use ground range: Check this to use ground range correction. This option requiresaltitude data to be present. If altitude is not found, processing will default to slant range. Use course for heading: Check this to use course instead of heading. Some sensorsdo not provide heading, but derive course from position.6.4.1 Kongsberg Mesotech M3SAMM interfaces with the M3 sonar by receiving a data and metadata string from the sonarsoftware directly. The M3 sonar software is capable of running in several application modes. Ifyou run the sonar in EIQ -Fine or EIQ- Ultrafine modes without remaining stationary, theresulting mosaic may be distorted (see the M3 manual for reference).To interface with the M3 sonar:1. Launch the M3 sonar softwareand connect the sonar as usual.2. Launch SAMM.3. Click the Add data icon.4. Click Connect to...5. Select Kongsberg M3 from thesupported sensors list and clickLoad.6. In the M3 interface window(Figure 40), set processingparameters as necessary.7. If SAMM and the M3 software arerunning on the same computer, donot change the IP address from127.0.0.1. If the sonar softwareis running on a different computerand networked to the SAMMcomputer, select an appropriatenetwork from the Networkinterface dropdown and enter theIP address of the computerrunning the M3 software in the IPaddress field.Figure 40. M3 Interfacing8. Do not change the port number from 20001 unless you change it in the M3 sonarsoftware. Then, enter the matching port number in the Port field.9. Click the Connect button.10. Monitor the connection status in the Device status popup and in the status bar on thebottom left. Acquisition begins automatically. SAMM flashes a warning if it is notrecording.
