Dolphin 6001 USB

Dolphin 6001 Sonar with USB interface unit and notebook PC.

The Dolphin Real Time Sonar System is the latest innovation from the company that is dedicated to providing quality products at an affordable price.

The Dolphin is a high frequency, high resolution electronically scanned sonar particularly suitable for pilotage, navigation and search operations.

The underwater housing is suitable for mounting on anything from a small Remotely Operated Vehicle to a large surface vessel. The surface display is generated by a P.C.running the "Windows" operating system. The umbilical cable requirement is for either a single twisted pair or a coaxial cable to handle the data telemetry. At the surface the sonar telemetry is connected to a small USB Interface Unit which is self-powered from the P.C. Power to the sonar is supplied either from the vehicle or via an additional two power cores through the umbilical.

The system software provided has facilities for data logging of the raw data to hard disk at full resolution for post analysis as well as a suite of on-screen measurement tools. The "Windows" interface significantly reduces the time taken to learn the system, minimising training requirements.
