•
Simrad PSIMDHB
The proprietary Simrad PSIMDHB datagram format is created by Kongsberg
Maritime to contain the calculated bottom hardness and biomass information. The
bottom depth is given as DBS (depth below surface). It is assumed that correct
transducer draft has been provided.

The NMEA VBW datagram contains water- and ground-referenced vessel speed data.
•
NMEA VHW
The NMEA VHW datagram contains the compass heading to which the vessel points,
and the speed of the vessel relative to the water.
•
NMEA VTG
The NMEA VTG datagram contains the actual course and speed relative to the ground.

Supported formats for processed data to file
The EK80 can export several types of processed data file formats. Use
Processed Data to
File
to define which processed data formats to save, and where to place the files. This
page is located in the
Output
dialog box.
Note
The data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of
EK80 data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your
Processor Unit is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the
data to an external storage device.
