  :  

Comprehensive real time display and control software including

  • Full control of viewing angle, transmit power, receive amplification
  • Ability to position viewpoint and centre of observed volume arbitrarily in 3D space
  • Ability to create pixel, grid, contour or sun illuminated views of 3D space
  • Ability to generate movies of real time 3D data
  • Automated mosaicing of sonar data, using external motion sensor
       
 

* Actual range is dependent on pulse length, target size and target strength
