  • Windows Software Interface

Standard Features of all Knudsen 320 Series Echosounders include:

  • Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
  • Field Programmable Software Upgrade
  • Easy Transducer Interface

High Power Main Transmitter Up To 10 kW
The 320BR Deep Water Echosounder features 3.5 kHz and 12 kHz dual frequency configuration options. It also features a high power 5 or 10 kW main transmitter and a 2 kW second transmitter with efficient switchmode operation.

Dual Frequency (3.5 KHz - 210 KHz) - Simultaneous Operation.
The KEL 320BR Deep Water has an optional dual frequency configuration with built in digitizers on both channels. It's three built in RS232 serial ports provide a standard interface to all modern survey tools including GPS receivers, heave sensors and dataloggers. It also provides hands-off operation with automatic phase & gain control.

Knudsen SounderSuite Software
SounderSuite, a Windows application software package provided with the KEL 320BR Echosounder, uses the built-in SCSI port to provide a full-function user interface which provides real-time control of all operating parameters, plus real-time display of the grayscale printer data in a window. This user interface also includes a flexible data logging facility which produces any combination of ASCII (digital depth data), Binary Image (grayscale printer data), SEG-Y or XTF files, simultaneously.

Standard Features

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
The 320 echosounders do all signal processing digitally. There are many advantages to an all-digital system, including the inherently higher performance and greater stability of digital filters. The processing is performed in software which can be programmed to accommodate any frequency, bandwidth, or pulse length, eliminating the need for multiple analogue hardware filters.

Field Programmable Software Upgrades
KEL 320 Series Echosounders are unique in their use of in-circuit programmable flash program memory for storage of all firmware including signal processing algorithms and communications drivers. Echosounder firmware can be field upgraded with the latest revision provided via the internet or on a disk from KEL. This firmware can be downloaded into the echosounder using the survey computer. Users can thus benefit from the improvements and additions to the software which are continually being developed.

Easy Transducer Interface
The Knudsen 320 Series Echosounders can be easily interfaced to most existing transducers, saving the expense of new transducers and dry dock installation.
