2050-DSS Starmux IV Topside Technical Description
Edgetech topside digital links provide power to the towfish while acting as a digital link between the
towfish and a topside computer with EdgeTech’s Discover application installed on it. Discover provides
the ability to monitor and control towfish systems and process and record sonar data. The digital link also
provides input connections for supporting survey equipment, navigation devices, and a trigger.
Edgetech topside rack-mount configurations include a configured Windows computer with a display,
trackball mouse, keyboard, and digital link, all housed in a rugged case. The computer has a Windows
operating system and Edgetech’s Discover 2050 Software Application installed and configured for use. An
additional display can be purchased and connected with the system if required.
