INTERFACE software

The EdgeTech 701-DL interface unit is used to provide the topside


interface between EdgeTech's 4200-FS and other digital sonars in
this family and the display and acquisition software used to control
the sonars (EdgeTech Discover Software and 3rd party software).

The 701-DL unit interfaces to the control computers using a Features:


10/100BaseT Ethernet cable, and provides the power and high bit
rate telemetry signals to the towfish. The system is designed to run • Provides interface between
off universal 100/250V AC power. EdgeTech digital towfish and display
& acquisition software
The topside computers communicate directly with the towfish • Compatible with 3rd party software
computer over the 701-DL telemetry, in a client (topside) / server • Supplied with or without EdgeTech
(towfish) architecture. The towfish computers all run an embedded Discover S/W
version of Windows XP operating system. Topside computers
running Windows 2000 or XP operating systems thus provide for
direct management of the towfish system files for easy update
system maintenance.
