Omniscan + Altitude Source
The Omniscan can support multiple devices as altitude sources. The sonar can adjust its imagery so that the water column — the empty space between the sonar and the seabed before the seafloor return arrives — is removed from the display.
You can use either the S500 Sounder, Surveyor 240-16, or the Blue Robotics Ping as an altitude source. Start by adding both the Omniscan and Sounder as devices:


Then add both to a session:


You can then exit Session Configurations, start Discovery, and connect to the session. Once connected, start pinging. In the right display control's panel, you will see a Depth Compensation header. Under source, choose the S500 and you're good to go!
