![]() S元 file format, only the sidescan can be pulled out. With Lowrance, no software exists to make good use of the. Garmin has a bit of a PBG with their QuickDraw Contours, but otherwise the file format can’t be further exported and actually be useful. Basically it has separated elements that receive the acoustic signal at slightly different times and then extrapolates the 3D geometry from that. Lowrance LSS-3 is a bit different in that its transducer elements are split (I can’t find a diagram at the moment). I plan to post some images as soon as I have some The Furuno DFF-3D and Garmin Panoptix are pretty similar in that they are phased array. It sounds like for the ROV applications higher frequency is the way to go since resolution is more important than long range. Our in house test version will be 300 kHz (since we have the ceramics), depending on the results from 300 kHz we may have to wait for the 675 kHz bars to arrive for the version that we plan to sell. Our electronics will run with any frequency from 100 kHz to 1 MHz. Usually there is a 8 week lead time on the ceramics. I checked our ceramic inventory and we have 300 kHz bars, but we have to order the higher frequencies of 675 kHz. Since the design and construction is very strongly based on a simplified version of our professional angle of arrival sector scan that we have been testing for over 2 years we are confident that by end of July we should have units for sale. I plan to send out the initial sonar electronics for the sonar block sometime next week, and plan to start testing sometime near the end of May. If somebody else has a inexpensive underwater servo for sale we could use almost any underwater rotator. We will see what we can do about a rotator for a 120 deg scan, this could be as simple as an underwater servo, without a slip ring, and a flexible cable to the sonar. the electronics and housings can be made as fast as bread ![]() ![]() The main bottleneck in production is the transducer. Depending on how fast they sell the next production run could be 100 systems. We are aiming for the June to July time frame, this would be an initial production run of 10 or 20 units of the sonar block.
