SonarMite
SonarMite
The SonarMite is a low cost single beam echo sounder with a specification designed for use by surveyors using total survey stations and GPS for inshore, lake and river hydrographic surveys. The SonarMite is sold as a complete package including batteries, charger, leads, transducer, internal data logging and survey processing software for less than half the cost of most survey echo sounders. The device can be used as a conventional echo sounder with data output to the in-built serial port (RS232C). The design uses state-of-the-art active transducers to provide a high quality digital trace with low data drop out. The SonarMite can be connected to the laptop or the GPS datalogger both by the serial port or the bluethooth connection. |
