The SonarMite BTX/SPX is a compact, portable, low power system for use in shallow
water hydrographic surveys, it's small size and low power requirements make the
system easy to deploy and transport to remote or inaccessible sites. The SonarMite
BTX/SPX is a single beam echo sounder providing a wider range of solutions for
surveyors working in shallow water hydrographic surveying. The SonarMite is
available in two versions …
SPX - a single transducer serial data port system with external power
BTX - a single transducer with Bluetooth, serial port & internal batteries
All models make use of a range of interchangeable smart transducers. In its simplest
form the SonarMite SPX and BTX are 235KHz single beam systems in the same
format as the previous SonarMite BT/SP and SonarM8 systems. As with the previous
SonarMite versions every measured depth is accompanied by a QA value which can
be used for post analysis of the survey data.
INSTALLATION & USE
This chapter describes how the SonarMite Portable Echo Sounder would normally be
installed and used. The typical way in which the device can be used for hydrographic
surveying applications, is as a „Dumb‟ sounder connected via a serial cable/Bluetooth
Link to a PC or PDA running data logging and display software. Another option is to
use both data streams with the serial output data for real time processing and the
parallel Bluetooth output for graphic depth display.
Switching the System On
To turn the system on the user ensures the system is fully charged then connect the
transducer to the „Txr‟ connector on the front panel, the LED alongside the Bluetooth
antenna will then turn on.
