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!

This example just used the S500, but the same steps will work for the Surveyor and the BR Ping
