SMC Configuration Procedure GeoSwath Plus

Scope
This document details the procedure required to configure the SMC motion sensor ready
to be used with the GeoSwath Plus wide swath bathymetry system.
If required that the sensor be configured differently (e.g. to output a different string
format) then please consult a member of engineering.

Only adjustments described in this document should be performed. If any other

adjustments or repairs are necessary, or if the result of any test is not as indicated, the unit
shall be deemed to have failed the test. A red Rejected label should then be attached to
the unit and an Inspection Defect Report (GEO QA 04/89) should be completed.

Configuration Sequence
Check that the UUT has a grn label attached to show that the unit has passed the Goods
Inwards Visual Inspection. Do not proceed until this has happened.

Test/Configuration Procedure
Carry out the procedure detailed on the following pages completing the configuration
record GS03-0040-05-CR and online MRU serial number records.

GeoSwath Plus SMC Configuration Procedure

Test Procedure
Requirements
General Purpose Equipment:
Monitor, Keyboard & Mouse.
GeoAcoustics SMC Interface cable (e.g. GS05-0399-05 or -16),
OR
SMC junction box interface assembly and travel adapter
GeoSwath deck unit or PC with at least one com port.

Software:
SMC IMU Configuration Software (Supplied with SMC)

Preparation
Connect a Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor and an IEC power lead to the GeoSwath deck
unit/PC.
Install the SMC IMU configuration software on the PC/deck unit being used to
configure the sensor.
If using cable assembly GS05-0399, connect the 9way D-type labelled MRU Com2 to
a free com port on the GeoSwath deck unit.
Alternatively if using the SMC junction box connect the 9way D-type to a free com
port on the PC/GeoSwath deck unit.
Procedure
Record the Serial Number of the SMC sensor.
Do a visual inspection of the SMC. Check that its general condition is acceptable. Pay
particular attention to the pins of the connector checking that all are straight.
Sensor Configuration
Connect the SMC to cable GS05-0399 or if using the junction box to the subsea cable.
Connect the 3-way bayonet connector (of cable assembly GS05-0399) onto the +24V
D.C. outlet on the deck unit.
Alternatively if using the junction box connect to the 110V mains supply via a travel
adaptor and switch on.
Start the SMC IMU Configuration Software. Click on Search IMU.

Click on the Serial Input tab. Change the Input 1 and Input 2 serial port bitrates to
9600 and click the Set button adjacent to each.
If the sensor is intended to be used with a GPS receiver that outputs heading (e.g.
Hemisphere) then tick the option Use GPS heading input for yaw aiding if
available . If enabling this option then place a tick also in the relative box on the
Configuration Record.

GeoSwath Plus SMC Configuration Procedure

Click on the Setup tab. Change the IMU Bitrate to 38400, then click Set. When
prompted with a Warning asking to confirm the change click Yes.

Check that the Mounting Offset Angles, Axis Inversion settings, IMU Output
Coordinate system, Output Rate and Kalman Filter Settings are all at the factory
defaults as pictured above.
Record the IMU Firmware version.
Click on the Received Data tab then tick the Receive Data box. Check that the TSS1
string scrolls down the display as pictured below.

SMC Configuration Procedure GeoSwath Plus

Close the SMC IMU Configuration Software, remove all cable connections and
disconnect the SMC.
Complete the configuration record for the SMC (GS03-0040-05-CR) and pack with the
Sensor.
