Configure - Display Units
5. For the Display Display Units we need to to change the requirement of sounding work unit. Configure – Global Setting
6. For the Global Setting, Setting, we need to set the status status bar time frame by select the Local time and for Display format set 24hr Time format and ddmmyy Date format.
7. For the Coordinate, select select Local grid(NEE) because we work work in the MRSO grid coordinate system, and Coordinate order E/N
8. After that, for the constants use the default setting setting
Configure – Coordinate System
9. For the next setting, we need to configure the coordinate System. For the new coordinate system, click on Select
10. After that, select the New System and click Next
11. Next, select Coordinate System and Zone and click Next
12. For the hydrographic job, we need working in the grid system. In this case we select the MRSO coordinate system for Malaysia and click Next
13. If we have the geoid model reference, select the local geoid reference. If we don’t have or unknown, select No geoid model and click Finish
14. The selected coordinate system will shown like above, if we want to view the MRSO coordinate parameter, select View and click Ok. And if we want to change the coordinate system, click Select again
15. The coordinate system data will shown like above

16. Click Add for the Boat setting (Drawing the boat dimension)
17. Named the boat and then click OK
18. After that click the Editor for the further boat setting
19. The boat dimension setting for offset will show like that
20. The Vessel dimension window will show like that
21. Key in the dimension of the boat by using the X and Y exist
22. Enter the offset equipment position in the boat and click OK for the finished setting
Configure – Equipments
23. For the next step go to the Equipment and Add the NMEA (GPS) and the Odom Echo Sounder.
24. After GPS setting was selected, click finish
25. Next, for the GPS configuration we need to check the Ports and Custom setting
26. The port of GPS is port1 and the comp port need to be same as the cabling configuration and the Bit per second need to be change by 9600. We also can click the Test to detect the satellite signal receive or not
27. If the satellite signal receive we can see the GGA$$ format at the left side if the data not in the GGA$$ format may something wrong in your GPS (NMEA) setting and to double check
28. The next setting for GPS, click Custom and see the Echo Sounder and select the DBS for depth input and High frequency for Decode depth as.
29. The next setting for GPS position, select GGA for position input and if we have the differential for GPS select the Differential at GGA and GGK
30. For the next setting Add the ODOM Echo Sounder and click the Configuration
31. Select the Echo Sounder and the type of your Echo Sounder
32. After that click finish
33. For the ODOM Echo Sounder, we need check same as GPS configuration at Ports and Custom.
34. Port of Echo Sounder is port1 and the comp port need to be same as the cabling configuration and the Bit per second need to be change by 9600. We also can click the Test to detect the depth receive or not below the surface
35. For check the Raw data from E/S is receive or not we can test it
Configure – Guidance Object
36. Guidance Object function is to create the Sounding Line or to Design the Sounding Line following our area of Hydrographic Survey. For the new Sounding Line, Named the New Group and select the coordinate system used for reference
37. Select the GO type –Line and give the name for the Sounding Line and click OK
38. Next, enter the coordinate and other information for the new Point and click Next
39. After that you need to enter the length of sounding line and the bearing from you reference mark by North direction and click finish
40. Click Yes if you want to create the numbers of Sounding Line
41. In this case, we select Parallel line for sounding line and click OK. You also can create the sounding line by following the shape of river or others shape following your sounding area by Translated,Bounded,Cross line and Cross section
42. After you was create the line of sounding, you can add the next line by enter the numbers of line by right side or left. The spacing of line also need to be enter by following the scale you got from your client or by IHO standard and click Generate
43. After that, you need add the Sounding Line for the Cross line
44. Select the Cross line and click OK
45. For the Cross line design, you need to select the Baseline for the starting the cross line for example at line001 and you need to named the cross line so that not confusing between Sounding Line and Cross Line. The spacing of Cross line need following the Fix interval by you scale and the Cross line length need to be pass through from the 1 st sounding line to the last sounding line
46. The starting Cross line start at Sounding Line001
47. The Last Cross line cover the whole of Sounding Line till the last sounding Line121
Configure – Steer-by-Associations
48. The Steer by Associations is the faster way if you want to select the Sounding Line or Cross line. Select Add to add the Line
49. Select on GO and choose the Line where you want to start the Sounding for example Line060 and click OK
50. Select on GO and choose the Line where you want to start the Sounding for example Line060 and click OK
