In the OS38 Instrument Setup table, the first column contains the deep water (> 500 m) setup defaults and the second column contains the shallow water setup. The second column shows the bottom track values. The difference between the two is that when Bottom Track is on, turn off the OS38NB. When Bottom Track is off, turn on the OS38NB. Usually, for most of the cruise, Bottom Track will be off. Fill in the values used at the start of the cruise. For the WH300, BT is just a toggle, turn ON when water depth is < 100 m.
