| Planning Comments: | CW deep-water deployment to check all data stream |
| Operation Comments: | This is the first proper deployment to check data streams including acoustics and optics. Unfortunately, the acoustics is not working as expected. Inconsistent ping rate across the channels. Tube 2 configured with 70 and 200 kHz is not pinging fast enough and slows down the ping rate considerably when all channels are recording data. Lost sample warning for 70 kHz and it is not working properly making the data unusable. Theoretically, we should achieve a ping rate of 7.5 pps for 100 m recording range. Because Tube 2 was not pinging fast we could only achieve a ping rate of 2.5 pps with inconsistency. For some reason this ping rate is not holding consistently and causing target tracking difficulty. Did some further ping rate test on deck. The issue seems to be with Tube 2 and when it is configured with Tube 1 the ping rate becomes slow and inconsistent for Tube 1 as well. Tube 1 in standalone mode seems to provide a ping rate of 6.1 pps (the best we can achieve given the processing overheads). |
