Is the system affected by strong magnetic presences? – Transcript

Another question we have occasionally been asked is: Is the system affected by strong magnetic presences?

The system is entirely operating on acoustics so any magnetics around the system won’t affect your acoustic reading. The only thing that might get affected is the little mimic of the probe on screen.

The probe itself does have heading capability so you might just see that rotating on screen but in terms of the attitude of the probe, that’ll be correct and all your FMD readings will be correct as well.
