Hands-Off Operation
After setup, operation of the Z Axis-2F is fully autonomous with no user intervention needed.
Seamless Sea Bottom Tracking
Assured by Unabara’s proprietary machine learning algorithm which anticipates changes in bottom conditions by analyzing the metrics of every returning ping.
Direct Depth Input:
Direct input of depth(s) (Z data) to PC based mapping programs or data collectors (Trimble, Carlson, Leica, Topcon and others) via RS-232 or USB.
Output Sentences:
· NMEA-XDR
· ODOM DBT
· DESO-20
Baud Rate: 9600 to 115,200 (user selectable).
Simple Setup
Using included Z Axis Windows-based PC Control & Monitoring software APP
Power Input: 12 volts D.C. @ 150ma.
(Optional external battery and charger available)
Narrow Acoustic Beam Widths
• For both F1 (5 degrees) and F2 ( 3.5 degrees).
• Results in small ensonified footprint of the sea bottom.
• Best horizontal spatial resolution of any survey echo sounder.
Sediment Thickness
Differences between depths calculated from F1 and F2 frequencies can be used to determine siltation thickness and locate “liquid mud” in navigation channels. Both of the above are of particular interest in dredging operations.
