WASSP CDX is connected to DRX over gigabit Ethernet. The Ethernet link is used for all communication between WASSP CDX running on PC or other devices and the DRX.
This link is used for control of the DRX and for the DRX to supply data for visualisation, management and post processing to WASSP CDX .
DRX also serves DRX SETUP WEBPAGES for DRX configuration. This is described in the
DRX Installation manual.
The Ethernet connection can be connected either directly using crossover cable or auto crossover (DRX supports auto MDI/MDI-X) OR via a network switch if supporting multiple clients or running the DRX on vessel LAN (local area network).
If there is a DHCP server on the LAN the DRX will be assigned an appropriate IP address by the DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server, the DRX will fall through to Zeroconfiguration assignment in block 169.254.0.0/16. Any connected device will need to be assigned an appropriate IP address on the same subnet as the DRX, either via DHCP server, Zero-configuration or fixed IP.
The Data Manager application bundled with the WASSP CDX Install Package is used for recording DRX data, exporting to various formats and data playback to supported applications including WASSP CDX .

3.2.2. Sound Velocity
Sound velocity input is required to compensate for range inaccuracies caused by sound speed variations. These changes can occur both seasonally and with geographical areas especially in coastal areas where sound velocity will be impacted by both temperature and water salinity differences.
Sound velocity in water is affected by both temperature and salinity and can either be measured directly or derived from temperature and salinity. This value should be adjusted regularly, depending on the operating environment, as It will have a direct impact on mapping accuracy.
The sound velocity control allows for both direct and derived values. Sound velocity compensation can be calculated using appropriate sound velocity, sound velocity profile or temperature and salinity sensors. The more accurate the sound velocity the more accurate the mapping.
The visual effect of incorrect sound velocity is that a flat seafloor will either curve up or curve down. This representation will indicate soundings that are too shallow or too deep with the affect being accentuated toward the edges of the swath.
Sound velocity measurements can be manually reckoned using the sonar display,
see
or the profile tool, accessed through the Chart CSM,
see
“4.3.3. 2D Chart CSM” on page 51.
To do this:
»
Known flat sea floor should be run over
»
If the sea floor appears to be curving upwards at the edges (smile), the sound velocity value should be increased
»
If the sea floor appears to be curving downwards at the edges (frown), the sound velocity value should be decreased
Sound Velocity set too low
Actual Sea Floor
Sound Velocity set too high

MANUAL SOUND VELOCITY ; used if sound velocity is known.
MANUAL WATER SALINITY AND
TEMPERATURE ; if temperature and salinity are known, these will be used to derive sound velocity in DRX.
MANUAL WATER SALINITY ; can be used if DRX has a temperature input and the manual salinity will be used to derive sound velocity.
NOTE: The default value for the salinity of sea water is 35ppt. This value should not be changed unless the actual salinity of the surrounding water is known. If in fresh water, the value should be set to 1.
NOTE: Temperature input into DRX may be direct from transducers with temperature sensors built in or from external temperature sensor.
EXTERNAL SOUND SPEED SENSOR ; used if an external sound speed sensor is connected directly to the DRX. Refer to DRX installation manual for configuring sensors connected to the DRX.
3.2.3. IMS Control
IMS CONTROL is used for managing interfering acoustic equipment.
Manual mode allows basic control of operating center frequency and can be used to manually adjust frequency to avoid acoustic equipment operating in the same frequency band as DRX.

»
Bathymetry will have gaps or be smoothed when aeration is identified
Example;
OFF
Example; LOW
Example; HIGH
7. SEAFLOOR: AERATION
Applies to Bathymetry charting data.
Aeration will occur due to air bubbles across the transducer face. This will occur due to poor transducer installation, but also due to sea conditions, vessel speed, vessel traveling astern etc. This can affect the entire swath or smaller areas.
Purpose;
To prevent aeration and other anomalies causing discontinuity in return signal strength from introducing poor seafloor tracking.

4.3.2.4. Backscatter
Backscatter overlay displays seafloor surface reflectivity as the seafloor target strength compensated for reflection angle due to slope, beam angle, and other losses.
For optimum performance the backscatter calibration routine should be run to compensate for system characteristics.
SHOW BACKSCATTER shows the backscatter overlay on the chart.
Backscatter will show instead of Bathymetry when enabled.
Backscatter overlay displays seafloor reflectivity, represented by colour change.
CDX OPERATORS MANUAL
The backscatter control allows setting the backscatter colour range.
To change the colour range drag the minimum and maximum indicators on the slider controls.
The histogram alongside the colour range controls indicates the actual spread of backscatter intensity currently displayed in the panel.
The backscatter display can either be shown as greyscale or colour scale using the COLOUR TABLE selection.
The display range can be automatically adjusted to be optimal for the data by using the SCALE COLOURS TO VIEW button. This selects the colour range to fit the intensity histogram.

CDX OPERATORS MANUAL
CALIBRATE : Backscatter calibration is run to compensate for system characteristics that may cause artefacts on the backscatter display. Specifically this compensates for the transducer beam pattern variance from the nominal. Calibration requires:
»
10 – 50m depth
»
Flat seafloor with consistent seafloor type
»
Calm conditions
»
At least 200m straight run
To run the Backscatter calibration:
1. Enable SHOW BACKSCATTER.
2. Line up for the calibration run and begin the calibration run.
3. Hit the CALIBRATION button:
• A line across the swath will indicate
Calibration routine has started.
• The Backscatter data will adjust dynamically during the calibration run.
• A 2nd line across the swath will indicate when the calibration data collection has completed.
4. Once completed the Backscatter will be adjusted to compensated levels.
5. Pressing cancel at any point during the calibration run will stop the data collection process and disregard the data.
