OVERVIEW
The Starmux IV provides power to 4200, 4205, 2050-DSS, 2000-DSS, or 2000-TVD towfish while acting as
a digital link between the towfish and a topside computer with EdgeTech's Discover application installed
on it. The Starmux IV features a modern digital current display, five status indicator lights, and connectors
for supporting survey devices and triggers. It can be bought independently, combined with an EdgeTech
Computer in a rugged 6U case, or as a component of a complete EdgeTech sonar system. The Starmux IV
has replaced the Starmux III digital link.
