320N Navigation Echosounder
Features
Features of the 320N Navigation Echosounder include:
- No Drydock - Easy Interface to existing Ship Transducers.
- Remote Displays Available (Up to 4 per system).
- 1 Month Internal Logging of Echogram Record.
- Network Ready.
Connectability.
The 320N Echosounder includes a network connection for integration into
shipboard LAN's for convenient remote control, data-sharing and archiving
capability.
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.
Correlation Processing.
The 320N employs linear FM sweep (chirp) transmit pulses and correlation processing
of the received signal to achieve up to 20dB signal to noise (SNR) gain over
conventional CW echosounders, for improved depth capability and bottom detection
reliability.
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.
Remote Displays.
The Knudsen 320N Echosounder includes an option for remote digital depth displays.
