commands to the towfish by combining 200 VDC with FSK control signals for
transmission over the coaxial conductor in the tow cable. In addition, the TPU
initiates each ping cycle to the side scan sonar and provides a trigger signal
simultaneously with the responder trigger generated in the towfish for use with an
acoustic positioning system. The TPU can also input standard National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 message sentence formats from a
connected GPS, and a 1 PPS input is provided which inputs 1 PPS (one pulse per
second) signals from the GPS. This signal is used in conjunction with a NMEA
$ZDA message input to add an accurate time stamp to the data.
1.2.3 SonarPro Workstation
The SonarPro Workstation is an industrial grade based computer housed in a
19-inch rack mountable 2U chassis that inputs processed and time tagged sonar
and sensor data from the TPU over an Ethernet 100baseT connection. A SATA
hard drive is included with the Windows operating system and SonarPro installed.
SonarPro is a comprehensive Windows based software program that provides
multiple displays of real-time or previously recorded sonar and sensor data.
SonarPro also allows you to record all acquired sonar and sensor data. The
SonarPro Workstation includes a high resolution 27-inch 2560 x 1440 monitor, a
keyboard and a mouse.
