To re-process a scan acquired with the sonar (not BV5000) mounted upside down:1. Open the File Settings Pan/Tilt Setup dialog.2. Check the "Beam Inverted" checkbox and click the "Ok" button.3. Open the rotational scan file and perform a playback scan (see page 28).4. When playback is complete, new and corrected XYZ and OFF files will be createdin the directory of the .SON file.Be sure to go back and un-check the "Beams Inverted" checkbox before acquiring any moredata.To re-process a scan that was acquired with the BV5000 system inverted when a user forgotto specify the inverted orientation in the Pan/Tilt Setup dialog:1. Open a .SON file2. Click the Scan… button3. Click “override recorded values”4. Click “BV5000 orientation”5. Select “Inverted”6. Click “Start Playback”GPS Timeout ErrorIf you are getting a "GPS Timeout" error message, check the following conditions:1. A PPS signal must be output by the GPS.2. The PPS signal must be on pin 9 on the DB9 connector. Note the most serialcables do not actually have the signal for pin 9 brought all the way through. Performa continuity check on the cable.3. The only NMEA message ProScan can process is ZDA. ProScan does not processGGA messages, and including them will cause problems.4. The ZDA message must be sent at a rate of one per second.Plumb horizontal surfaces appear bent due to a tilt offsetThe pan/tilt‟s (P/T) encoder and feedback can develop an offset from the zero (home)position for a variety of reasons. It is important to know the angular relationship of the tiltrelative to the vertical pedestal of the P/T unit because an offset will cause incorrect anglevalues to be applied in ProScan when the XYZ point cloud is generated. In a typical casewhere a structure‟s plumb bottom is scanned, a tilt offset can cause the bottom to look bent(typically downwards) with respect to the scan origin as in the image below.©BlueView Technologies Page | 30
Un-calibrated 3D Point CloudConcrete BlocksBent structure‟s bottomTo compensate for this offset, a tilt calibration procedure needs to be conducted asdescribed in the BV5000 manual. Once this calibration offset value is input in ProScan, thesame bottom appears plumb as in reality as shown below.Calibrated 3D Point CloudPlumb structure‟s bottomBlueView Customer SupportAt this point, if you were able to connect to your sonar, you can assume your sonar isworking properly and that the PC is set up correctly. The only thing left is thecommunications link specific to your particular implementation/application. It is advised thatyou get your system integrator involved at this point.BlueView Technologies Customer Supportwww.blueview.com206-545-72608am to 5pm PST Mon through Fri©BlueView Technologies Page | 31
