23-December-2003
AUV Mapping Meeting 
10:00-12:30 Surface Commons

Reson bottle should show up on 30-Dec-2003.
 - Side-scan and sbp will run and log in 7k format
 - Jury-rigged power system

Software:
 - Rich to track down Nathaniel for a 6046 driver
 -  15 days of work to integrate and run sbp and sss (8 msgs)
 - Rich to finish ctd driver. Needs to test against real hw (5 days)
 - PSA916 driver done, assuming terminal server hookup
 - Rob: gps driver needs to be modified to pull data from INS

Reasons to test at sea from Zephyr in Jan/Feb:
 1) Perception to management
 2) Reson bottle will be here
 3) Pushed other Zephyr users out of the way, so we better use it!
