The EdgeTech side scan telemetry is used to transfer the magnetometer data to the topside. The
magnetometers have a bidirectional RS-232 interface at 9600 bps. The magnetometer data is
read by the towfish electronics, encoded onto the side scan telemetry, and then decoded on the
EdgeTech Topside (model 566 for the 4200-FS system and model 562 for 4300-MPX system)
and is made available on a PC standard Com port. Control messages from the PC hosting the
magnetometer user interface software, are likewise transferred to the magnetometer towfish. A
null modem serial cable is required to connect the EdgeTech topside to a laptop or PC running
the magnetometer acquisition software (Sealink, Maglog, etc…)
