ShotMarker Help por Favor.

[PatMiles]

I've had my ShotMarker for a couple of months and am comfortable with it. In reading the basic users manual provided by Adam other questions come to mind that I find no answers for. As an example, in the Calibration and Verification section pitch and yaw are shown in the screen simulation. What do the pitch and yaw represent?
In the Target Configuration section, the screen simulation shows measurements for Delta X and Delta Y. What do these numbers represent.

Adam, if per chance you read this thread, I would ask that you take the time to create a video that shows the various screens with a detailed explanation of the various field on the screens, the whys and wherefores. An example would be using the Sensor Moniter how does one troubleshoot sensor and/or cable issues. Which sensor/cable is failing(?), can this be done to pinpoint the particular sensor/cable?

What do the pitch and yaw represent?

I know what it means on a ship in weather. Pitch,how much of an angle you get at when running into the seas in heavy weather, going up not to bad, coming down you get slammed.
Yaw, get that running with the weather, following seas, how much of an angle your vessel slips sideways coming off a large swell. To much yaw on to small of a vessel with a heavy
sea can mean disaster, capsize. Capt.Dans maritime lesson of the day.

Pitch and yaw can be used to determine if a shot came into the sensors at an unusual angle (think crossfire) and aids in identifying errant hits. The X/Y offsets determine where the aim point is to be located in reference to the acoustical target center. If you have the aimpoint coincident with the acoustic center then in a close range match...say 300yds....you will obliterate the aimpoint pretty quickly in an F-class match. If you have the acoustic center a minute or so above or below the physical aim point then you will adjust you scope to get your shots in the X on the e-target screen although they will impact the target above/below the physical aimpoint by the amount of offset you program as your Y-delta. On load development mode I just adjust my scope to hit an inch or so above my aimpoint to not have it obliterated.

A lot better than mine.

Dan, are you saying my pitch was better than yours...if so just 'roll' with it. YAWnnnnn.........

Pay attention to what rardoin put, makes more sense in this situation than mine.I'm humbled.

@adamjmac is in England this week at the European Championships, so there is a probably pretty low chance he'll see this in the next few days.
