The purpose of NaviScan is to collect data from multibeam and lidar sensors and to generate a file with exact positions of each scan. To do this, navigation information is needed along with gyro, roll/pitch/heave and bathy sensors.


Below there are two NaviScan configuration manuals, one for earlier versions and one updated to NaviScan 9.12.
