System description
EA640 is a high performance hydrographic wide band single beam echo sounder. The
echo sounder is developed for hydrographic use in deep to medium depth waters.
For maximum flexibility and ease of operation, the EA640 echo sounders uses the
Microsoft Windows
® 7 operating system. The EA640 software can be run on any
medium range Windows compatible commercial computer.
Wide band frequency sweep (FM) in combination with advanced signal processing gives
an exceptionally good signal to noise ratio and range resolution.
The EA640 offers internal storage of all raw sample data. This includes all external input
sensor data for replay purposes. A highly flexible processing regime makes it possible
to log high density complex raw data for advanced post-processing. We recommend
using an additional external storage device.
You can set up the display to suit your special needs. You can choose different
presentations on the screen for echograms, digital depth and other features. Save user
settings for different operations and use them again for similar operations.
EA640 supports a wide range of inputs from third party sensors and you can also export
these data and data from EA640 to a wide range of different outputs.
Available frequencies span from 10 to 500 kHz. A variety of highly efficient transducers
are available to suit all your operational needs from shallow to full water depths.
