Appendix 3
Multibeam Option
There are many different types of multibeam echo sounder equipment available and it is
best to refer to the manufacturer’s manual for details of the equipment operation.
Sometimes the multibeam echo sounder requires a connection to the Dynascan system to
obtain 1PPS and an NMEA message. Information on this connection is supplied below.
19.1
Teledyne ODOM ES3
The ES3 requires a cable from the Dynascan pod to the RTA unit in order to provide time
tagged data to QINSy. This cable connects to the same connector as the Odometer cable,
on the pod and to the GPS IN connector on the back of the RTA unit.
When using the ES3 and Dynascan simultaneously you must use the D Link card supplied,
which fits in the PCMCIA slot on the laptop. The RTA Ethernet cable connects to this card and
the Dynascan cable fits directly to the computer.
