12 October 2005 Dave Caress, Hans Thomas, Rob McEwen Aaron Gregg, Matt Testing a new revision of the Reson firmware - does FPGA based beamforming - produces 256 beams - has fixed timestamping problem for the multibeam records ] - does not have beam flagging usefully implemented. - not sure what receiver gains to use We have set subbottom to ping every third multibeam ping (1 Hz instead of 3 Hz) to reduce the noise background. Using new mods to the waypoint depth behavior that should improve how well the vehicle follows the prescribed depth track. We will work just offshore around the upper Monterey Canyon. We will deploy to the south of the Canyon and work north at first. Deploy at: 121.85598 W, 36.76388 N, -61.292 m Had to move vehicle back onto the Zephyr from the test tank. Left dock 0750L
