3D Profiling Sonar 2001 for High-Resolution 3D Bathymetry Data Collection

The 3D Profiling Sonar 2001 offers advanced capabilities for gathering high-resolution 3D bathymetric data at short ranges. It employs an acoustic transducer to execute horizontal swath scans, which are incrementally rotated to cover a complete circular area beneath the sonar dome. This model is available in both a cable-connected configuration and a self-contained logging system. It can be equipped with optional Conductivity, Temperature, Pressure, Pitch, and Roll sensors. When fully equipped, the logging unit processes data into an ASCII 'XYZ' file format. Featuring an internal Ethernet connection, data can be uploaded without disassembling the underwater pressure housing. The sonar's housing can be mounted on a subsea framework for extended deployment, with scheduling software to manage data capture cycles. Additionally, a wet-switch option ensures data capture only when submerged. Compatible with Windows '98 through XP, the system software facilitates easy programming and data visualization, minimizing the training time required for operators.
