Using Multiple Omniscans
Side scan applications often use a pair of Omniscan 450 SS devices to scan both sides in one vehicle pass. Dual devices are also great for utilizing Omniscan's Doppler Motion Tracking capability.
If setting up multiple Omniscans, see the detailed instruction in the SonarView manual.
