Coordinate Frame

For adding mounting offsets in SonarView, you'll need to know the coordinate frame of the Surveyor:

As shown in the image, a positive X-axis offset places the Surveyor forward of the position source, a positive Y-axis offset places it to starboard, and a positive Z-axis offset places it below the position source.

Roll is a rotation about the X-axis. Using the right-hand rule, a positive roll is defined by pointing your right thumb in the positive X direction (forward); the direction your fingers curl indicates the positive direction of rotation (pitch & yaw offsets are not supported by SonarView).

The image below shows where to measure from for the mounting offsets:
