The settings in the Seabat 81xx dialog box determine whether you are collecting
bathymetry and/or sidescan sonar data. Make the appropriate selection using the
Bathymetry and Side Scan check boxes. If you are transferring the bathymetry data via
a serial connection, use the Serial port
Setup button to configure the port settings. You
should also check
Log “snippet” data if your sonar has this option, and you intend to
transfer this data over a serial connection.
As shown in the SeaBat Setup dialog box, you can specify several parameters (Table
I-4).

Meaning and Comments
SeaBat
One Head
Two Heads
Isis can work with either a one-head model SeaBat (such as the
model 9001) or a two-head model (such as the model 9002). Choose
a model.
Sensor
Head #1
Head #2
If you have a SeaBat model 9002, you can choose Head #1 or Head
#2. Head #2 is dimmed out (unselectable) if you have a model 9001.
Note: Model 9001 will only output bathymetry data if the sonar is
outfitted with the side-scan option 0019.
Bathymetry
Check Bathymetry if you will be creating topographic images. You can
choose Bathymetry with or without also choosing
Side-Scan; they are
not mutually exclusive. When Bathymetry is enabled, you can also set
up your Serial Ports. Refer to ‘Serial Port Setup’ for setup details.
Additional Latency If you choose Bathymetry, you can also specify Additional Latency to
your Bathymetry to compensate for the lag time measured from the
moment the ping is emitted until its return is logged.
