Bottom lock
.
Bottom lock provides a traditional bottom lock mode where the changes in
bottom depth are ignored and the bottom is drawn flat. Fish and other echoes
are shown relative to the flat bottom image, enabling better discrimination
between bottom fish and the sea-floor.
►
Computer based profile storage
.
A computer-based system means the WMB-160/80F can generate and store
very detailed sea-floor profiles.
►
Digital signal processing (DSP)
.
Using DSP technology, the WMB-160/80F can provide an indication of changes
in sea-floor hardness, ideal for scalloping, crayfishing, and trawling where you
want to understand and locate small changes on the sea-floor.
►
160 kHz operating frequency
.
Operating at a frequency of 160 kHz provides high sea-floor definition.
►
2-D and 3-D zoom
.
2-D zooming from 250 m out to 3 km. 3-D zooming from 10 m out to 1 km.
►
Depth and sea-floor coverage
.
Sea-floor coverage is determined by the beam width in use: For a 90 degree
beam width, the sea-floor coverage will be approximately twice the water depth.
For example, 100 m depth gives 200 m sea-floor coverage with 112 beams -
every ping. For a 120 degree beam width, the sea-floor coverage is 3.4 x depth.
For example 200m depth gives approximately 680m sea-floor coverage.
►
Unique power management system (14 power levels)
.
14 power levels provide optimal performance over a wide range of sea-floor
types and water depths.
►
More accurate 3-D
.
Profiles 90 times faster than conventional single beam echo sounders, leading
to reduced costs and improved accuracy.
►
Future proof technology
.
The computer based operating system and transceiver firmware are both
upgradeable as new features and methods in software are developed.
