We are using the Omniscan 450 side scan with the blue boat, and the image quality has been very poor. Our tests have been in very calm water with little wind and over areas where we know there are at least rocks that should be visible, but the results are very noisy. All firmware is up to date. We have been setting the speed to 1 m/s, and the sonar track shows up fine in SonarView. Any troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @cferwerda -
Welcome to the forums!
What water depth are you scanning with the Omniscan SS? Are you able to share a sonar log file like the one in your screenshot?
It was in relatively shallow water, 1-4m. I’m unable to upload files as a new user, but I have put the logs here:
Hi @cferwerda
To me it looks like either the transducers are not connected properly or there is a problem in the wiring harness. That log file is all noise, there is no discernible signal at all.
Can you take a look at the transducer wiring harnesses and connections to the Omniscan PCB? Can you hear the devices pinging?
