ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL 2.2 Classical fix the transducer beside the boat The position of the fixed transducer is best selected next to the middle side of the hull, avoiding the noise interference of the hull as far as possible, and then fixing it by pulling the rope at the front, rear and bottom. Notice During the whole depth measurement, the transducer rod shall be kept vertical at all times. When you find the rod is not vertical, you need to check the data.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Chapter 3 Software Introduction SOUTH echo sounder needs two software to do the marine survey job. One is EchoSounder software, another is Hysurvey software. 3.1 EchoSounder software. EchoSounder software is main use for configure the transducer sounding parameters, collect the echo wave raw data, transmit the data depth data to the Hysurvey software.

ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Depth range is important for auto survey mode, and you need to select the correct range to let SOUTH echo sounder adjust the sounding parameters automatically. If the real depth is out of setting range, the depth will show 0.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Register Check the left using time and register the echo sounder Normally SOUTH echo sounder will have around 30 hours for demo using. Device Check information information the device 3.2 Hysurvey software Hysurvey software is main used for setting up project parameters, survey navigation, collecting the depth and position data, echo data process and result data output.

ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Chapter 4 Quick guide 4.1 Install the echo sounder and RTK, fixed the transducer on the boat. Check the chapter 2 hardware installation. 4.2 Power on the echo sounder and open the EchoSounder and Hysurvey software. See as below picture after open the software. 4.3 First configure the EchoSounder software. 4.3.1 Create a new data file and input a new file name.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL 4.3.2 Configure the survey setting Input the draft, sound velocity, and shallow alarm. The Draft is the depth value of the transducer. The velocity is the sound velocity, you can compare the real depth with the echo sounder display, then change the value. E.g.: the depth you test is 5m, but the echo sounder is 4.95m, you can input a bigger velocity let echo sounder display 5m.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL 4.3.3 Select a deep range. The deep range is use for auto survey mode, it is important when use the auto survey mode. Make sure the range is correct, if the depth is over the range, the echo sounder will show 0 m. But we can’t select the range more bigger, the range is a key value for the auto survey algorithm. Click “Start” icon, when you can see the depth and echo wave stable, the EchoSounder is normal.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL 4.4 Then you can minimize the EchoSounder and go to configure the Hysurvey software. 4.4.1 Create a new project by click “Project – new project”, click “OK”, see as below picture: 4.4.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Above picture, you can input the project information Above picture, you can create your local coordinate system by click the “new” button 28
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Above picture is configure the device sample, and the Echo sounder pleas select the “Internal port” and tick “Enable” Above picture is the collect data setting.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Above picture need user input the antenna height, after input the height, click “Finish” icon. 4.4.3 After click “Finish” the software will back to main interface. Click the connect icon and record icon, if connect successfully, you can see the coordinate and depth display in the “Navigation info” If there is no information come, please check the configuration in “setting – survey devices” again, and check the EchoSounder and Hysurvey software is not expired in “Register”.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL 4.5 For the survey plan line, you can Import the DXF2000 format file in “Project - Import”, or draw it in the “Design” function. After your back ground have the survey plane lines, you can click “Record” and drive the boat fellow the lines, echo sounder will automatically record the data as your project collecting setting. 4.6 After collecting the data, the final step is data processing. 4.6.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Opened the line file and check the data, if find some false data, you can use the edit tool bar to edit the data. After you open the line file, you can click the “Auto” process first, then you can check by manual. If you find some echo wave error, use the edit high or low depth to edit it back to normal. After finishing edit 1 line, click “Save” to save the data, and open another line to process. 4.6.
ECHO SOUNDER MANUAL Normally, when you use RTK for marine survey, you only need to select the output format and select all the survey lines, then click “Export”.
