Welcome
Welcome to the CyScan (Dashboard) Operator's Guide. It has been written for operators
of the CyScan system that use the CyScan Dashboard operator interface rather than the
legacy CyScan Console.
Getting Started (see page 10) explains the basics that you’ll need to know before using
the CyScan system for the first time.
The CyScan Dashboard can be configured at installation for either a single-Dashboard
serial system or a multi-Dashboard Ethernet system.
The majority of the sections in this guide apply equally for serial or Ethernet configured
systems and explain how to perform the various tasks necessary to operate the system
and use it for tracking. These include Tracking Basics (see page 22) and Single
and Multi-Target Tracking (see page 29), Support Information (see page 47) and
Troubleshooting (see page 53). The section titled Ethernet (Multi-Console) CyScan
Systems (see page 44) gives information specific to an Ethernet configured system.
Note that the introduction of the Dashboard constitutes a significant change in the CyScan
operator interface in comparison with the legacy console. There are also likely to be further
improvements to the Dashboard in subsequent releases. Whilst we endeavour to describe
its functionality correctly in this document, we do not guarantee that it exactly represents
the version of Dashboard that you are running.

System Overview
CyScan is a high accuracy laser sensor which provides positional information to allow
automated approach and/or station keeping relative to a structure or vessel. The system
requires one or more reflective targets to be attached to the sides of the structure or
vessel.
CyScan is designed to be semi-portable and straightforward to operate. In use, the
CyScan system key elements are:
CyScan Sensor, with integrated Power Supply Unit, which is mounted on the

CyScan emits eye-safe infra-red light and detects the reflections back from retro-reflective
targets. Targets are mounted on designated structures or vessels. They consist of strips of
a high performance reflective tape mounted on a flat or a cylindrical support.
The accurate range and bearing of one or more targets is measured by CyScan and used
to calculate the exact position of the CyScan vessel relative to the target structure or
vessel. This positional information is displayed on the Dashboard screen and automatically
transmitted to the vessel's DP system.

Reflection Images
Reflections received by the sensor are displayed as yellow circles. For tracking you
must select the reflection(s) that correspond to the physical target(s) to be used. During
multi-target tracking, white boxes are drawn around the selected reflections to indicate a
strong association with the target (i.e. the system is receiving good data and is confident
of the target position). A red box appears around a selected reflection during tracking if the
system has lost sight of the target, or there is insufficient data being received to use it for
tracking.
click or tap on the area of the Primary Status Display.
Brightness Bar
Indicates the brightness level of the primary (or only) reflection being tracked, along with
the rejection threshold.
Bearing and Heading Tags
These are displayed on the Radial Marker when the system is in tracking mode, to indicate
the bearing of the primary (or only) target and the vessel's heading. The visibility of these
two elements depends on the DP format selected and which coordinate system is being
used to display the positional information (see Positional Display Modes on page 32).
Data Logging Indicator
This symbol is displayed when data is being logged to disk. During a tracking operation the
symbol is steady and when manual logging is in progress it flashes.
Zoom Control
Click on the left-hand side of the control (marked '-') to zoom out of the display and on the
right-hand side ('+') to zoom in. Click on the triangular Optimum Zoom Button to set the

Location-Sensitive Shortcuts
Certain areas of the Dashboard screen form
'location-sensitive' shortcuts within the application.
To perform a function, locate the area of screen at
which the shortcut is available, then click on that
area. On a mouse-keyboard version, when the
mouse is moved over a location sensitive area, a
hand cursor will normally be shown. This indicates
that clicking on it will perform a shortcut function.
Activating a shortcut causes the appropriate Menu
Pane to be displayed at the foot of the screen.
Subsequently clicking on the same shortcut (or
clicking on the Main Pane outside the BEV) will
remove the Menu Pane and result in a full-size BEV.

Tracking Information Quality
The CyScan Sensor rotates anti-clockwise. On each rotation, the sensor emits a beam of infrared laser light and analyses the position of any reflections that it receives.
After several rotations, the sensor is able to compare the reflections received on the last rotation with those received during previous rotations. This enables CyScan to recognise the
reflections from the intended targets and to ignore any unwanted reflections.
Before tracking has been selected, the Data Quality and Coordinates area in the upper left corner of the screen are grey. After tracking is started, the coordinates are initially displayed in
red or amber and the quality bar is partially filled with the same colour.
After a few seconds, as the scanner gathers more information, the colour changes from amber to green and more - or all - of the Quality bar is filled. This indicates that the vessel’s
position can now be calculated accurately and that the system can reliably track the targets.
l

Display Views
To provide maximum visibility during daytime operation and minimal glare during night
shifts, CyScan Dashboard offers two display modes: Day View and Night View. In either
mode the brightness can be further adjusted by the Console Brightness control.
To change the day/night view and adjust brightness:
1. Click on More >> Display View or use the keyboard shortcut F6 or the Day/Night
Mode button in the CyScan Hotkeys panel.
2. Click on the Day View or Night View symbol.
3. Click on the left side of the Console Brightness control to dim the screen and on the
right to make it brighter.

Vessel Orientation
CyScan Dashboard supports four different layouts of the Bird’s Eye View so that the
operator can choose the one which best represents his surroundings.
For instance, if the Dashboard screen is facing aft and the operator is therefore facing
forward when using it, he would want the bow of the vessel in the BEV to point upwards,
so that a target on the starboard side of the vessel is shown on the right-hand side of the
BEV.
There are two ways of setting the Vessel Orientation; one just for the current Dashboard
session and the other which will still apply after the Dashboard has been closed and
re-opened.
To set Default Vessel Orientation:
1. Enter Service Access Mode (see Entering Service Access Mode on page 49).
2. Navigate to More >> Page 2 >> Vessel Parameters.
3. Select required Display Bow Orientation.
4. Click on the Apply button to confirm.
To set Vessel Orientation for the Current Session:
1. Click on More >> Vessel Orient.
2. Click on the vessel outline that points in the required direction.

l
22
Blanking Zones
The Blanking Zone is used to mask the segment of the scan rotation that is obscured by the vessel’s superstructure. While the scanner passes through the blanking zone, the laser is
switched off to prevent any unwanted reflections from interfering with the target data.
N.B. Even if the sensor has a clear 360° view, there must be a blanking zone of at least 23°.
Generally, once the blanking zone has been set, it will not need to be changed. However, there may be occasions when it is necessary to adjust the blanking zone, for example if the
target is on the opposite side of the vessel to normal.
Changing the blanking zone whilst tracking will interrupt the data sent to the DP system.
If the blanking zone is adjusted during multi-target tracking, it reverts to its previous setting when the tracking ends. However, if the blanking zone is adjusted during singletarget tracking or when not tracking, a new baseline setting is formed.
Setting the Blanking Zone

To select a preset blanking zone
1. Click on More >> Blanking Zones. The Preset Blanking Zones pane is opened (see
below).
2. Click on the blanking zone shape that best suits the current CyScan installation and its
field of view.
3. Click on the Apply button to confirm the changes.
l
23
Blanking Zones (Continued)
Manually Defining a Blanking Zone
Instead of using a preset shape for the blanking zone, the user can define it manually. This
allows greater flexibility and precision, as the start and end of the zone can be set to any
positions around the circle to the nearest degree, subject to the minimum and maximum
sizes of the zone.
To Define a Blanking Zone
1. Click one of the blanking zone handles and, holding down the left mouse button,
drag to the desired position. Alternatively - on a touchscreen - touch and drag. As
the handle is moved, its current position (in degrees clockwise from the vessel bow) is
displayed in blue numerals outside the perimeter of the circle.
2. If required, drag the second zone handle in the same way.
3. The Apply-Cancel buttons will have popped up after step 1. Click on the Apply button
to set the blanking zone, or on Cancel to restore the blanking zone to its previous
state.
The blanking zone must cover at least 23° and no more than 337°.

24
Working with Reflections
Basic Refections Data
Reflections data is displayed on two panes accessed via the Tracking Button. The
Reflections pane contains a list of reflections that are visible to the scanner, and the Range,
Bearing and Brightness level of each:
Filtering Reflections
The Filter Reflections function on the Reflections pane allows the user to set minimum
range and brightness thresholds. Any reflection at a shorter range or lower brightness
level than the corresponding threshold is classified as a 'Reject' in the Type column of the
Reflections list and is represented as a red square on the BEV. This mechanism is useful
when unwanted reflections cannot be eliminated by means of the blanking zone function
alone. It can be used at any time, even during tracking.
a. Filtering by Range
Allows the user to reject reflections that are closer than the
threshold range. For example, setting the range threshold to
35m will cause any reflections from less than 35m away to
be rejected. The range threshold can be adjusted between
10 and 70 metres by clicking on the end of the filter bar
marked '+' or '-' as required.
The user is able to filter out unwanted reflections (see below), and can choose whether to
include rejected reflections in the list by means of a toggle button.
Include rejected reflections:
Exclude rejected reflections:
b. Filtering by Reflection Brightness
Allows the user to reject reflections that are below the
threshold brightness level. For example, if you set the
brightness threshold to 20%, any reflections that have a
brightness of 19% or less will be rejected. The brightness
threshold can be adjusted between 0% and 60% (reflection
brightness is measured as a percentage of the brightness of
the light emitted by the laser).
The Brightness bar on the BEV indicates the selected
brightness threshold by means of a vertical dotted line.
Whilst tracking is in progress, the brightness of the primary
(or only) reflection is shown by the extent of the deep yellow
area, whilst the area to the left of the threshold is coloured a
lighter yellow.
N.B. This assumes that the primary (or only) reflection being
tracked is brighter than the threshold level.
The Figure to the right shows the Brightness Bar when a
threshold of 20% has been applied.

Working with Reflections (continued)
Extended Reflection Data
The Reflection Pulses pane contains details about the number of pulses that make up each
reflection, and their angle of incidence.
Rev # - The total number of revolutions made by the scanner rotor since CyScan was last
powered up or resumed.
Power - The relative output power of the laser. CyScan automatically adjusts the output
power of the laser to receive an adequate reflection from the brightest target without
saturating the scanner. The maximum value is 100%.
Marker - The Marker displays the orientation of the scanner in relation to the vessel:
0° indicates that the scanner has been mounted with its information display facing the
stern.
180° indicates that the scanner has been mounted with its information display facing the
bow.
Reflections - The number of detected reflections.
Internal - The temperature inside the scanner unit (see Low Temperature Operation
on page 63).
Rejects - The number of manually rejected reflections. (See page 30).
Pulses - The total number of pulses received during the last revolution of the scanner rotor.
Pulse - This column displays the number of laser pulses that have been received back
from each target in the following format:
USING/BAD/TOTAL/REJECTED
For example, if the pulses column was displaying 9/1/11/1, it would indicate that CyScan
was using 9 laser pulses for the position calculation, and had discarded 1 bad pulse and
rejected 1 pulse out of a total of 11.
In general, the larger the target the more pulses that will be returned.
This value will increase as the distance to the target reduces.
Width - The Width column shows the horizontal width of each target, measured in
degrees.
Lower, Middle and Upper - These columns indicate whether
the scanner is pointing too low or too high in relation to the detected reflections.
This can occur when the CyScan vessel is working close to a rig and the targets are
mounted high above the scanner (see Manually Tilting the Scanner on page 28).
High readings in either the lower or upper channels can also be caused by unwanted
reflections and do not necessarily indicate that the scanner is pointing too low or too
high in relation to the intended target

The scanner tilt mechanism automatically compensates for the pitch and roll of the vessel
caused by wave motion.
Motion sensors and a tilting optics mechanism ensure that the scanning optics remain at
the correct level to see the target.
Scanner Tilt Modes
The scanner can be operated in one of three tilt modes:
- The scanner tilt automatically adjusts to compensate for draught changes as
• Auto
the vessel loads or unloads, and for gradual tidal movement. Also effective when the
elevation angle of targets increases as the vessel approaches a platform.
- This mode is used to manually tilt the optics to reach the target. For
• Manual
example, when station-keeping close to a platform where the targets are mounted
high up and the CyScan optics must be tilted up at them. (See Manually Tilting the
Scanner on page 28).
- (service access required) - The CyScan should not be operational in this mode.
•The Fixed
current tilt mode and leveller angle (if non-zero) are displayed in the ‘Tilt Mode:’ section
of the Side Bar.
To change the scanner tilt mode and leveller angle
1. Click on the Tilt button in the Side Bar.
2. Select the required mode and click on the Apply button to confirm.
3. Click on the +/- buttons to adjust the angle. The adjacent list of estimated elevation
angles for visible targets helps you to arrive at the best leveller angle.
4. Click on the Apply button to confirm your changes.

Manually Tilting the Scanner
The Manual mode is used to tilt the scanner optics to a user-defined angle so that the
centre of the fanned beam is pointing at the target. This may be necessary when the
CyScan Vessel is close to a platform and the targets are positioned above the sensor.

Spirit Level
The CyScan optical receiver is divided into three vertical channels: Lower, Middle and
Upper. The proportion of beam signal being received in each channel is used to determine
the correct angle to set the optics.
If one of the reflections in the list is selected, its elevation relative to the horizontal is shown
by the position of the yellow target symbol on the right-hand side of the Leveller Graphic.
The blue line represents the laser beam, and this moves as the +/- buttons are clicked.
When the laser line points to the centre of the target symbol, this indicates that the leveller
angle is ideal for the selected target
The Spirit Level control, on the left hand side of the Tilt
pane, displays the roll and pitch of the vessel as measured
by the Vertical Reference Unit within CyScan. The graphical
display represents the roll and pitch angles in the same
manner as a bull’s eye spirit level. The current values are
displayed in text at the bottom of the control. A ship outline
is shown in the background to indicate orientation relative
to the vessel.

Single and Multi-Target Tracking
This section explains the different types of target tracking that can be performed using the
CyScan Dashboard, and how to configure them. It does not provide advice on how to set
up a tracking operation for a specific DP system or application.
The information contained in this section is for general guidance only. This section does
not provide an exhaustive explanation of target tracking using CyScan, nor does it form
the basis of a contract. Implementation of the material covered in this section will vary
according to the type of DP system used in conjunction with the CyScan system. The use
of, or reliance on, anything in this section is therefore entirely at the user’s own risk and
should only be undertaken after assessment of its accuracy, completeness and suitability
for the proposed use.

Introduction to Single and Multi-Target Tracking
Single and Multi-Target Modes
To Change Tracking Mode
CyScan can operate in 'Single-Target Mode' or 'Multi-Target Mode':
1. Click on the Tracking button.
2. Select one of the options.
Single-Target Mode
3. Click on the Apply button to confirm.
During Single-Target Tracking, CyScan uses a single flat, cylinder, prism or prism cluster
target.
Single-Target Tracking is quick and easy to use, but has the following limitations:
stability is affected if the target reflection is temporarily lost,
• Tracking
as there is no redundancy.
the true target reflection is obscured by vessel operations,
• Ifthere
is a possibility that the sensor track could jump to another reflection.
• Relative vessel heading cannot be calculated.
Multi-Target Mode
In Multi-Target Mode, CyScan uses between two and five targets. Guidance Navigation
recommends using a minimum of three targets. Multi-Target Mode has the following
advantages compared to Single-Target Mode:
tracking stability.
• Improved
immunity to false reflections.
• Increased
allows tracking to continue even if a target is temporarily lost.
• Redundancy
• The vessel’s heading in relation to the Multi-Target Group can be calculated.
To Start Tracking
In Single-Target Mode
1. Click on the required target reflection on the Bird’s Eye View. It changes to the selected
state (with the number “1” superimposed) and the message “Ready To Start Tracking?”
appears in the Coordinate Data area of the Side Panel.
2. Click on the Apply button to confirm and begin tracking.
The current tracking mode is displayed on the Side Bar:

To Stop Tracking
1. Select a minimum of two and a maximum of five target reflections (see Selecting
Targets for Multi-Target Groups on page 34). An ordinal number will be superimposed
on each as they are clicked.
Whilst tracking is in progress, a Stop button is embedded in the Tracking button on the
Side Bar.
2. Click on the Apply button to confirm and begin tracking.
2. Click on the Apply button to confirm.

Positional Display Modes
The relative positions of the CyScan vessel and single or multiple targets can be expressed
either as Range and Bearing values, or as 'x' and 'y' positions on a rectangular coordinate
frame.
Coordinate axes are only displayed if the DP feed format is set to either
NMEA0183P or NMEA0183R.
CyScan can also display Range and Bearing data when using these formats, if required.

Range & Bearing
Range and Bearing mode displays the distance and the bearing of the primary (or only)
target from the sensor. The radial markers around the outside of the BEV are zeroed in line
with the vessel bow and a magenta tag marks the bearing which is the angle of the target
clockwise from the bow.
In the case of multi-target tracking, there is also a heading axis. This always passes
through the primary target and by default it points through the secondary target, although
it can be realigned if required (see Aligning a Multi-Target Group to a Given Vessel
Heading on page 43). A purple tag represents the heading, which is the angle of the
vessel bow clockwise from the heading axis.

When using a DP message format for which more than one display mode is supported,
select the required mode by clicking the appropriate tab above the Data Quality area:

Positional Display Modes (Continued)
Bow and Starboard Axes
This mode is available for single-target tracking, and for multi-target tracking where the DP
feed messages are sent in NMEA0183P (primary) format.
In this mode, the position of the sensor vessel is expressed in metres from the target along
Bow (B) and Starboard (S) axes which have their origin at the primary (or only) target. The
B and S coordinate axes are always parallel with the vessel's own axes.
For multi-target tracking, the vessel’s relative heading is based upon a third axis passing
through the primary target. By default, the heading axis is drawn between targets 1 and
2 but can be realigned if required. The radial markers around the outside of the BEV are
zeroed in the same direction as the heading axis. The purple heading tag is aligned with
the vessel bow, at the point on the scale that shows the angle of the bow clockwise from
the heading axis.
Bow and Starboard Axes
A and B Axes (A Pos and B Pos)
This mode is only available for multi-target tracking where the DP feed messages are sent
in NMEA0183R (raw) format.
In this mode, the position of the sensor vessel is expressed in metres from the target
along A and B axes which have their origin at the primary target.
The axes are initially aligned with the multi-target group, with the A axis passing through
the secondary target. The vessel's relative heading is measured clockwise from the A
axis. If required, the axes can be manually realigned to correspond with the DP system or
another sensor's coordinate axes.
The radial markers around the outside of the BEV are zeroed in the same direction as the
A axis, which acts as the heading axis. The purple heading tag is aligned with the vessel
bow, at the point on the scale that shows the angle of the bow clockwise from the A axis.

Selecting Targets for Multi-Target Groups
The terminology in this section relates to a DP Message Format of NMEA 0183R (Raw), i.e.
A and B coordinate axes instead of Bow and Starboard.
Correct Asymmetrical Target Spacing
Selecting Reflections
Target 1
When you select a reflection as a target, make sure that it corresponds to the actual target
that you wish to track against. You can select up to 5 reflections to form a multi-target
group.
The first reflection that you select (target 1) becomes the primary target, which forms the
origin of the A and B coordinate axes.
The second reflection that you select (target 2) sets the default orientation of the A and
B coordinate axes. If there are more than 2 reflections, select the reflection furthest away
from target 1. (See Target Selection Order on page 35).

Target 2
Target 3
A further 3 reflections (targets 3, 4 and 5) can be added to give redundancy to the group if
targets 1 or 2 are temporarily lost or obscured.
If more targets are mounted on the rig, then the superfluous ones should be physically
removed and not just omitted from the multi-target group.
Vessel
CyScan tracks targets more accurately when multiple targets are spaced
asymmetrically (see right). If the targets are not spaced asymmetrically, it is
better to operate with fewer (i.e. 2) targets.

Axis Orientation and Vessel Heading (Continued)
Vessel Heading
Vessel Heading is measured clockwise from the origin of the A axis to the CyScan vessel’s
centre-line. The vessel’s relative heading value depends on the orientation of the coordinate
axes. Changing the orientation of the A axis also changes the vessel’s relative heading.
In the examples below, the vessel’s heading relative to the targets remains constant.
However, the system measures different heading values according to the different
orientation of the A and B coordinate axes.

Rotational Offsets
Some DP systems and applications may require the A and B coordinate axes to be rotated
to match a different heading. For example, to line-up with the DP System’s own coordinate axes, the axes of another sensor, the vessel’s gyrocompass, or any other heading
value.
Target 1
(Origin)
A
Target 2
When the axis orientation is adjusted manually, both the A and B axes are rotated about
their origin in the centre of target 1.
Vessel heading is measured in a clockwise direction from the A axis, so changing the
orientation of the coordinate axes also changes the vessel’s relative heading value.

The orientation of the A and B coordinate axes can be adjusted by aligning the multi-target
group to a given vessel heading.

CyScan Ethernet Dashboard - Slave Mode
The CyScan Dashboard software, when configured to run with Ethernet Multicast or
UDP communications, supports one master console and multiple slave consoles running
simultaneously on the same system.
An Ethernet Dashboard will default to slave mode whenever it is launched. When the
Dashboard is running in slave mode the controls relating to the Dashboard itself will be
active, but those relating to the CyScan sensor will be disabled. Service Access is not
available in slave mode.
Slave consoles display the same reflections and positional data as the master, but cannot
initiate or stop tracking operations.
To switch a Dashboard from slave mode to master mode:
1. Click the Guidance Home.
2. Click the unlit M button on the Side Bar.
To switch a Dashboard from master mode to slave mode:
1. Click the Guidance Home.
2. Click the unlit S button on the Side Bar.
When a console is switched from master mode to slave mode it will still receive feedback
updates but at a reduced rate (every 3-4 seconds instead of every second). These updates
are sent to all consoles and include server state information.
If there is already a master console on the system this will automatically switch to
slave mode when another console is switched to master mode
l
45
CyScan Ethernet Dashboard - Master Mode
The CyScan Dashboard software, when configured to run with Ethernet Multicast
or UDP communications, supports one master console and multiple slave
consoles running simultaneously on the same system.
All control and configuration functions are available in a master console (Service
Access is required for some of these). Any changes made to the tracking or
sensor-related settings at the master console will be visible on the screens of the
slave consoles. On the other hand, display options such as console Brightness
or Zoom level can be set differently on each individual Dashboard, whether it is a
master or a slave.
When the master console is used to suspend the CyScan sensor a message
will appear on the screens of the slave consoles indicating that the system is
suspended.
In this state, clicking the RESUME button on any slave Dashboard will
automatically make that Dashboard the master console. Clicking EXIT will close
the Dashboard application on that individual console only.
If the CyScan system has been configured for Ethernet communications, a
Dashboard will default to slave mode whenever it is launched.
To switch a Dashboard from slave mode to master mode:
1. Click the Guidance Home.
2. Click the unlit M button on the Side Bar.
If there is already a master console on the system this will automatically
switch to slave mode when the current console is switched to master mode.

DP Feed
The DP Feed is the data that CyScan sends to the vessel’s Dynamic Positioning system.
CyScan supports several different data message formats; it is important that CyScan and
the DP system are both configured to use matching formats.
Setting DP Message Format
When the Dashboard is operating in normal access mode with a standard sensor, the DP
Message Format can only be changed to one of the three formats shown in the above
illustration. In Service Access mode, several other formats may be selected and the DP
Feed pane also contains controls that determine how CyScan’s DP output behaves in
certain situations.
1. Click on More >> DP Feed
2. Click on the up or down arrow in order to select the required message format.
3. Click on the Apply button to confirm the change.
See document 94-0363-4 CyScan (Dashboard) Installer's Guide for a description of the

• Service
Power Control has been enabled via a configuration setting.
• Manual
Dashboard has been connected to a running sensor that already has Manual
• The
Power Control enabled (perhaps via another Dashboard on an Ethernet system for
example).
To Enable Manual Power Control:
1.
Ensure that at least one of the above conditions are met.
2.
Click on the More >> button.
3.
Click on the Page 2 tab.
4.
Click on the Power & Inhibit button.
5.
Ensure that the Enable Power Control box is ticked.

required value is displayed.
2.
Click on the Apply button to confirm the changes.
To Disable Manual Power Control:
Click on the Enable Power Control tick box and on the Apply button to confirm.
The tick box will clear and the Power Level control will be removed..
If Manual Power Control has been enabled by a Console using Service
Access, which has subsequently been disconnected from the sensor, the
sensor will continue running under manual power control.
Other Consoles may connect to this sensor and adjust the power level or
turn off manual power control WITHOUT Service Access. Service Access
will then be required to turn manual power control on again
Range Inhibit
The CyScan sensor will ignore all reflections below a configured range threshold. This
avoids using processing capacity on very short-range reflections that are not of interest.
Note that this function operates at an earlier stage of processing than does the Filter
Reflections function (see Working with Reflections on page 25).
Range Inhibit is only available in Service Access Mode (see Entering Service Access
Mode on page 49).
To Set the Range Inhibit Threshold:
1.
Click on the left or right hand side of the control until the required range is displayed.
2.
Click on the Apply button to confirm the changes.

Data Logging
During tracking, the system automatically generates a set of operation logs that can be
analysed by a service engineer to diagnose any system faults. Logging can also be started
manually, when the system is not tracking (see below).
Logs are written to compressed folders that each contain approximately one hour’s data.
The folders are named according to the date and time period that they cover, and the type
of navigation that was being carried out. For example, logs recorded between 1.30pm and
2pm on the 4th May 2014 during multi-target tracking would be stored in a folder named:
Taking Screenshots
The Screenshot option records every detail of the current screen and stores it as a bitmap
image. Screenshots can be analysed by a service engineer or e-mailed to Guidance
Navigation Limited in the same way as log files.
The screenshot is stored in the file desktop.bmp, in the same directory as the log files
(C:\Logs by default). If a desktop.bmp file already exists, it is overwritten.

Alarm Codes
For the purpose of an audit trail, events of any nature are reported in the Dashboard
application in the form of 7 different alarm types. These alarms only apply to the embedded
navigator and the interaction between the sensor unit and the Dashboard user-interface.
Fatal Alarms—Codes 2xxx
Signifies a fatal event such as malfunctioning software; the system might be able to
recover from this but a power cycle is always recommended (both sensor unit and Console
computer).
Errors—Codes 3xxx
Signifies an unexpected event such as a missing parameter file or a lack of response from
a particular sub-system; these errors normally clear themselves after a while. If these errors
occur repeatedly in quick succession especially after restarting the system, then a serious
hardware problem might have occurred.
Warnings—Codes 4xxx
Signifies a possible error source; it will be followed by a relevant error message if the
system deteriorates, otherwise this will clear itself in due course. In general most warnings
if they are infrequent can be ignored.
Information—Codes 5xxx
Signifies purely an event, user initiated or automatic, for audit purposes.
Proxy Alarms—Codes 6xxx - 6499
Controller Alarms—Codes 65xx - 6999
Rotor Alarms—Codes 7xxx - 7999
Proxy alarms, controller alarms and rotor alarms all signify events that are associated
with the sensor rotor, tilt mechanism or controller hardware. These codes can provide
diagnostic information about issues with this hardware.
l
55
Cleaning the Sensor and Targets
To maintain the CyScan Sensor in good working order it is important that its optical elements
are kept free of contamination.
To clean the optical window
Use a lint-free cloth with IPA spray to carefully wipe the optical window.
To clean the targets
In dirty environments the reflective faces of the targets should be cleaned regularly for best
viewing.
Under icy or frosty conditions, the targets should be cleared of any condensation or ice.

Targets-Reflective Material
CyScan has been designed to operate with good quality retro-reflective targets. There are
numerous manufacturers and types of reflective material available worldwide. These have
widely varying angular reflective specifications and are not all suitable for laser tracking
purposes.
Only one type of reflective material is recommended for use with CyScan. It is known as
Scotchlite Diamond Grade White 4090 and is manufactured by the 3M Company. It is
widely available as a tape or flexible sheet in a variety of sizes with an adhesive backing.
The material can be obtained through 3M’s international product distribution network as

Targets-Installation and Position
Target Types
CyScan can operate successfully with flat or cylindrical targets. These are available from
your CyScan agent and are shown below:
Flat Targets
Cylindrical Targets
Prism Targets
Flat targets are generally attached to rigid structures
such as metal stanchions using steel bands.
Cylindrical targets can be used up to
approximately 300 metres. They can be hung
over the side of the structure/vessel and secured
at either end.
Prism cluster with 8 x 6cm elements
for extended range operations. Variable
configurations allow for optimisation of the
visible reflection, visible reflection level or
reflected power.
2 metre tall flat targets can typically be seen at up to
400 metres in ideal conditions. Shorter 1 metre tall flat
targets are visible at up to 250 metres when viewed
straight on.

TECHNICAL NOTE 3
Vertical Beam Divergence
CyScan has an optimised optical system to ensure that bearing precision and target lock
are maintained even in high sea states and over the full range of the sensor. The optics
produce a vertically divergent beam (12°) with a very narrow profile. As the distance from
the target increases the beam becomes deeper as shown in the diagram.

TECHNICAL NOTE 4
Low Temperature Operation
Introduction
CyScan is a precision electromechanical device with hardware components that, of
necessity, are mounted in an external position on a vessel’s superstructure. It is recognised
that industrial marine operations may subject these components to harsh environments,
including low temperature.
CyScan is designed to operate within the temperature range – 25 to 70°C. The hardware
complies with the requirements of IEC 60068-2-1 and is able to operate for prolonged
periods at temperatures down to – 25°C provided that certain operating conditions are
maintained.
If there is a requirement for CyScan to operate at temperatures below -25°C, contact
Guidance Navigation.
Operating Conditions
The following recommendations are made for low temperature use:
it is necessary for the system to be switched on after a prolonged period at

l
65
Using the On Screen Keyboard
In order to accommodate systems without keyboards, CyScan Dashboard provides an
onscreen Keyboard (OSK) option. This enables text to be input using only a mouse pointer
or touch screen.
In the case of a numerical field, the OSK is restricted to the appropriate keys:
To enable the on-screen keyboard
If, during installation, you indicated that the Dashboard would be used with a touch screen,
the OSK will already be enabled.
Otherwise, edit the c4config.ini file in the CyScan Dashboard installation folder
(typically C:\CyScan Dashboard), find the OSK parameter and set as follows:
OSK=1
To use the on-screen keyboard
Simply click on any text entry field and the OSK will pop-up ready for use:
When you have finished using the OSK, click on a different part of the screen and the
OSK will disappear.
Click on the necessary keys on the on-screen keyboard using your mouse or by tapping
the touch screen.
l
66
Working with Alarms
During operation, the CyScan system produces an audit trail of event messages. These
range in increasing order of severity from: Information, Warning, and Error to Fatal. As
these alarms are raised, the Dashboard lists them within the Alarms pane.
Click on any alarm to display details about it in the right-hand section of the Alarm pane:
Filtering Alarms
A filter is available to suppress the display of particular alarm types. By default, the filter is
activated and causes information messages to be hidden.
Click on the Alarm Filter button to toggle between activated
and de-activated
.
Click on the Filter Selection button to choose which types of alarm are to be filtered out:
The severity and current state of an alarm are reflected in its colour and shape:
symbols
• Information—grey
symbols
• Warning—orange
symbols
• Error—red
• Fatal—red symbols
Alarm types that are ticked are always displayed in the alarms list, un-ticked types are
hidden when the filter is activated.
The arrowhead symbol indicates that an alarm condition is persisting; an alarm in this state
will show a Start time but not a Stop time.
The square symbol means that the alarm condition no longer exists, therefore the alarm will
show both Start and Stop times.
The pause symbol indicates an instantaneous alarm. In this case, the Start and Stop times
are identical.
When an Error or Fatal alarm is raised, the Alarms pane is opened automatically and its
Side Bar button is shaded red as in the example above. If the pane is closed and reopened, the Side Bar button returns to its normal light grey shading.
