Installation Manual
►
Computer based profile storage
.
A computer-based system means the WASSP can generate and store very detailed seafloor
profiles.
►
160 kHz operating frequency
.
Operating at a frequency of 160 kHz provides high seafloor definition with a large range.
►
Depth and seafloor coverage
.
Seafloor coverage is determined by the swath width in use: For a 90 degree swath width, the
seafloor coverage will be approximately twice the water depth. For example, 100 m depth
gives 200 m seafloor coverage with 224 beams - every ping. For a 120 degree swath width,
the seafloor coverage is 3.4 x depth. For example, 200m depth gives over 600m seafloor
coverage.
►
Unique power management system (14 power levels)
.
14 power levels provide optimal performance over a wide range of seafloor types and water
depths.
►
Efficient seafloor mapping
.
Profiles 90 times faster than conventional single beam echo sounders, leading to reduced
costs and improved accuracy.
►
Future proof technology
.
The computer based operating system and BTxR firmware are both upgradeable as new
features and methods in software are developed.
►
Third party integration
Through interfacing, real time, to third party software applications and outputting to standard
formats, bathymetric and water column data can be collected and processed using specialist
tools.
