System integration and survey planning
Define the intended platform, positioning input and required survey outputs before selecting the complete M2 configuration. Review mounting arrangements, power and data connections alongside the sonar specification. Record installation offsets and perform the appropriate checks before production surveying so the measurements can be processed consistently with the navigation and motion data.
