Technical brief
Octopus 460+

Sonar acquisition system

   
 
 

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

  Analogue inputs   16 bit scalable from 125mV to 5V configured as 4 x sidescan sonar (port and starboard x 2).
       
  Analogue outputs  
Dual analogue output (port and starboard, selectable Ch1 or Ch2), synchronous with trigger out allowing simultaneous acquisition of dual frequency sonar.
     

 

  Trigger input   Single trigger input with variable threshold (250mV/2.5V) synchronises start of analogue acquisition.
       
  Trigger outputs   Internal trigger (5v) user selectable ranges, 25m to 1000m.
       
  Navigation & fix data  
2 x RS232 serial inputs (9 pin D-type) for NMEA navigation (GGA, GLL, VTG, RMC etc.) or Octopus fix and annotation strings.
Additional inputs on request.
       
 

DATA RECORDING

  Recording formats   XTF, GeoPro, CODA
All data is recorded raw (without gain or processing applied).
       
 

DISPLAY MODES

  Sidescan   Dual (port & starboard) or four channel sidescan display, vertically scrolling with co-registered oscilloscope display. All gain and processing controls on-screen.
       
  Full screen   Dual or four channel vertically scrolling sidescan
     

 

  Navigation   All navigation, fix, annotation and status information shown on all screens.
       
 

PROCESSING

  Gain   Variable gain pre-amplifier (pre digitisation) to allow matching with all standard analogue sidescan sonar systems.
Digital base gain.
TVG with variable delay.
Adjustable white level and black level display thresholds.
           
  Signal processing   Bottom tracking.
Water column removal.
Slant range correction.
           

All other specifications as per Octopus 760
