Operator Manual
This operator manual describes how to operate the WASSP System Multibeam Sonar
System program through its graphical user interface. There may be variations due to on-going
developments and enhancements.
1. Purpose of this Manual
2. Introducing the WASSP System Multibeam Sonar System
and computer processing power which provides you with unparalleled information about the
underwater environment. It gives you a wide 120° port-starboard swath of the water column and
The information is presented in a user-friendly, mouse controlled, Windows-based operating
system. The system can output data to plotting software packages. For optimal performance,
roll, heave, pitch, heading and position inputs are all required.
data. Accurate ship measurements must be taken and the dockside and sea trial commissioning
procedures carried out thoroughly during installation. Even with good sensors, mapping
performance in rough seas will be less accurate than in calm water.
The WASSP System can be applied to a variety of survey methods, as well as search and
rescue, customs, and police applications.
2.1 Main Features
The WASSP System has the following main features:
Simple to use
Improved performance
The use of separate transmit and receive arrays has enabled WASSP Ltd. to optimise both
transmit performance and receive sensitivity, giving improved performance over traditional
sonar and sounders.
High detail picture of the marine environment
The transmit beam spreads over a 120° port-starboard swath and covers 4° fore-aft while
the receive beam covers 10° fore-aft, displaying a highly detailed picture of the marine
environment.
Beam stabilisation
Variable beam width
Unique to the WASSP, the single beam view can not only be stabilised, but the beam width
can be varied from 5° to 40°.
Bottom lock
Bottom lock provides a traditional bottom lock mode where the changes in bottom depth are

costs and improved accuracy.
Future proof technology
features and methods in software are developed.
Third party integration
Through interfacing, real time to third party software applications and outputting to standard
formats, bathymetric and water column data can be collected and processed using specialist
tools.

up, a Navigation Warning screen similar to
the one shown in “Figure 3. WASSP System
Multibeam Sonar System Navigation Warning”
is displayed.
c. Click on OK to accept the navigation warning
message.
If no dongle is found, a Dongle Error box
appears on the screen.
Ensure a dongle has been plugged into the
computer’s USB port and click Retry.
d. Verify that the BTxR and appropriate sensors
are switched on.
e. Check the connection status for Processing
Module, Transfer Task, BTxR and Navigator.
