Option Meaning and Comments
Status The channel can be turned On or Off. Channels that have
been specified as On are numbered in the order that they are
listed. This is the order that Isis will expect to receive the
data.
Channel Name In this text box should be the name of the channel that
reflects the type of data you will acquire on the channel
specified in Type of Channel. You can also specify a
frequency to go with the channel: Type a space after the
channel name and then a number representing the
frequency. Example: PORT 123. In the Sonar information
dialog box, the system will update the Frequency text box for
you.
Type of Channel Specify whether this channel will be dedicated to port side-
scan, starboard side-scan, or subbottom/seismic data. The
Channel Name will change according to the Type of
Channel you choose.
Trigger Source Specify the trigger channel to which this channel will be
synchronized. Each synchronization channel requires an
embedded trigger and, therefore, a separate SIU4.
For more information on specific types of side-scan or subbottom sonars,
please refer to
‘Working With Specific Sonars’ (Appendix I) in the
Isis User’s Manual, Volume 2.
4.1.2 Advanced Record Setup
If you will be using several different sonars and multiple Isis sessions
simultaneously on your data survey, Isis provides a way to optimize and
separate existing memory-mapped files in those sessions. You do this from
the File menu: Record Setup→Sonar Setup→Advanced (Figure 4-5).
