Multibeam Echosounder

List with all available multibeam and multi-transducer echosounder systems that exist in the current selected QINSy database.
Because different types of multibeam echosounder systems are supported (Ro/Theta, X/Y/Z, Profilers) and multi-transducer systems, some items below may not be applicable for the concerned type.

No multibeam echosounder is defined in our example.
These are the sub-items:

Positioning

Display of spud pole and dredge head positions are to be added; however, positioning here refers to raw data and results data is preferred.
These are the raw data sub-items:

USBL

QINSy may be receiving the positioning of spud and cutter in the form of pseudo USBL measurements, i.e. a dX/dY/dZ measurement from the dredger's CoG point to the spud and/or cutter. Displaying these measurement may be useful.

image2016-3-15 14:59:24.png Click on Raw Data and then on USBL (in dredging usually a pseudo-USBL system).
