Survey, our premier software package providing exciting
features that make collection and review of SONAR data easy and highly efficient. The software
features an integrated waterfall display designed to maximize the effective computer screen

area measurements, all of which can be executed in real time or during post-processing
operations.
In addition to measurement tools, Sea Scan

Survey software provides an adjustable magnification
zoom tool and a target marking tool. Added features include an advanced target marking system
for instant access to any real-time marking point during either the on-water or post-processing
operation. Other windows are available during data collection and post processing that allow
additional data perspectives. These include an A-Mode view of the SONAR data, a data status
window that shows range delay, ping rate, Speed over Ground (SOG), Course over Ground (COG),
heading, Latitude/Longitude (L/L), and depth at a glance. The software includes a full feature
navigation plotter to show swath coverage, marked targets, and vector chart maps. Sea Scan
