INTEGRATION TO MAGNETOMETERS
EdgeTech provides an optional interface to magnetometers for its Full Spectrum side scan
systems, models 4200-FS and model 4300-MPX.
The magnetometer option provides for the simultaneous gathering of the earth’s magnetic
field strength along with side scan data.
EdgeTech’s model 4200-FS and model 4300-MPX side scan systems can be towed
simultaneously with various magnetometer units.
Currently EdgeTech offers an interface package for Marine Magnetics ‘SeaSPY’ and
Geometrics ‘G-882’magnetomers. Other brands and models can also be interfaced.
The magnetometer interface involves the following:
1.
Mechanical
2.
Electrical
3.
Digital telemetry
The client needs to specify, when placing the order for a combined Side Scan /
Magnetometer system, the brand and model number of the magnetometer. In the situation
where the client wants to interface a magnetometer to an existing Side Scan system, an
interface kit needs to be ordered from both EdgeTech and the magnetometer supplier.
