Surveyor 240-16

  1. In the SonarView config.json file, add a new session plan with two devices as shown below:

{
  "session_plans": [
    {
      "name": "Surveyor with Garmin",
      "devices": [
        {
          "product_id": "ydnu-02",
          "url": "serial:COMX?baud=9600"
        },
        {
          "product_id": "mbes24016",
          "url": "tcp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXXX"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Where your surveyor's IP and port number would replace the url field below "mbes24016" (e.g "tcp://192.168.2.1:62311) and COMX would be replaced with the COM port the USB gateway is using (e.g. "serial:COM7?baud=9600")

  • If using the Yacht Devices YDNU-02 gateway, set product_id to ydnu-02.

  • For a different NMEA2000 Gateway, set product_id to gps.

  • For any other GPS device, set product_id to gps.

If using any other GPS device, your session plan would look like this:

    {
      "name": "Surveyor with GPS",
      "devices": [
        {
          "product_id": "gps",
          "url": "serial:COMX?baud=9600"
        },
        {
          "product_id": "mbes24016",
          "url": "tcp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXXX"
        }
      ]
    }
  1. Connect to the session plan on SonarView. The Surveyor should now use the provided gps heading and position data.

If you are using a different NMEA gateway and you have the option between NMEA 0183 and 2000, use 2000 because the conversion to 0183 seems to cause gateways to drastically slow the update rate
