Features

320BR Plus Deep Water Echosounder

Features of the 320BR Plus Echosounder include:

  • Up to Four Multiple Independent Channels.
  • Simultaneous Operation.
  • Sub Bottom Profiling.
  • CHIRP & Correlation processing.
  • Knudsen SounderSuite®.
  • Industry standard Record Formats (SEG-Y, ASCII, XTF and .keb Binary Image File).
  • Power option available - 1 up to 6 kW, 3 up to 2kW channels.

Knudsen SounderSuite Software.
SounderSuite, a Windows application software package provided with the KEL 320BR Plus 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.

Connectability.
In addition to the SCSI 2 interface, the 320BR Plus has 6 RS-232 (or optional RS-422) serial ports available on the connector panel for general purpose interface. Drivers for most standard accessories (i.e. GPS receivers, heave sensors etc.) are provided.

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.
