Pitch refers to the rotational motion of the vessel around the X-axis (port/starboard). Although the pitch sensor has its own section in the Vessel Editor, it is part of the same sensor package as roll and heave in most survey configurations.
1. Click Pitch in the Sensors list box so the selection is highlighted and the data fields are displayed.
2. Type data (as needed) in the following fields:
• Date: The year and Julian day of the current pitch time stamp.
• Time: The hour and minute of the current pitch time stamp.
• Time Correction: The time correction value.
• Error: The applied instantaneous values for the pitch sensor are computed by subtracting the appropriate errors from the recorded values:
Applied Pitch = Recorded Pitch - Pitch Error.
• Apply: Select Yes to apply the pitch data in the merge process.
• Manufacturer: The maker of the sensor equipment.
• Model: The particular make of sensor equipment.
• Serial Number: The serial number of the sensor equipment.
The location of the pitch sensor is indicated in the Vessel Editor by a coloured dot.
Kongsberg systems apply dynamic Heave, Pitch, and Roll values to the swath data during survey. Therefore, the HVF must be set up with the Apply switches for Heave, Pitch, and Roll set to '”No” so these values are not applied twice. |
