BATS AND PORTABLE BATS OPERATION
3-2
NOTE: The Hydrophone calibration data is used by the Trackman software. A set of calibration files
(included with every Hydrophone) is copied into its directory. Changing of the Hydrophone requires
that the two files that comprise the calibration factors be installed into the Trackman PC’s folder;
C:\Program Files\ORE Offshore\Trackpoint MMI\CalFiles\InUseCAL\.
