System Overview
The Sounder 1612 is a “black box” echosounder that utilizes a PC to allow the user to control all system parameters,
manage peripherals, record entire echogram data, as well as internal and external data logging. The communication
link from the Sounder 1612 to the PC is via USB (full speed 2.0).

Interfaces
3.3.1
Aux Panel
3.3.1.1 Sync In / Out
The Sync In allows the output transmit of the Sounder 1612 to be synced to another piece of equipment. The SYNC
IN looks for a high-to-low-to-high transition with a low cycle hold time of at least 1ms but less than 50ms (min ping
rate). The transmit will occur on the rising edge on the sync signal. The SYNC OUT will provide a signal from
Channel 1.
3.3.1.2 Analog Out
These are standard BNC connections which provide direct access to the analog signal after bandpass anti-aliasing
filters. This interface is useful for oscilloscope viewing of the output signal. The expected signal levels are between
0-5 volts.
