CHIRP technology dramatically improves the range resolution compared with conventional scanning sonars – it is a feature normally associated with much larger, more expensive systems.

As part of our SeaKing range of mechanical imaging sonars, in addition to boasting CHIRP technology, the MicronSonar also utilises Digital Sonar Technology (DST) to offer exceptional clarity and resolution – a feature normally associated with much larger, more expensive systems.

The MicronDST Sonar can be controlled by a customer supplied PC equipped with Tritech AIF card or laptop equipped with the Tritech Seahub, configured for either RS232 or RS485 protocols. The sonar has a standard auxiliary port to allow it to interface with other Tritech sensors.

The SeaKing range of mechanical imaging sonars comprises the SeaKing Hammerhead, Super SeaKing DST, Super SeaPrince and Micronsonar. All products in the SeaKing family (or third-party products within the ARCNET communications link or RS232/ RS485 as the Seanet SCU has 4 independent ports which can be configured to those comms), can be run simultaneously, using the same processor and display; such as Surface Control Unit (SCU) or a customer supplied PC or laptop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. My device shows as UNKNOWN in Seanet Setup. What does this mean?

If your device appears as UNKNOWN in Seanet Setup, it is typically an indication of an issue with the RS232 ground connection. To resolve this, please ensure there is continuity on the copper sections between each end of the cable. If continuity is not established, it may suggest that you have an RS485 device connected to an RS232 port.

For detailed guidance on resolving this issue, we recommend referring to our comprehensive document titled “Serial Port Connection and Setup Rev 1″. This resource provides step-by-step instructions to help you address the basics of serial port connections and setup, ensuring proper communication with your device.
