Auxiliary Interface Ports
The Arc Explorer tow fish is equipped with two auxiliary interface ports. These ports provide an
integrated interface for add-on sensors such as altimeters and depth sensors. The sensors are
designed to be field installable/swappable, similar to the transducers. All ARC Explorer tow fish are
equipped with these auxiliary ports from the factory, although older systems may require a factory
hardware upgrade to enable them.
