These updates will add a number of new functions to WASSP systems currently in use and, in most cases, can be installed by existing users free-of-charge.
The firmware update includes a new TVG (20 and 40) option, added to the existing mode, shows the full water column and does not need to be tuned for different depths.
Also included is a new Multiresolution Database with automatic, depth-adjusted, best resolution mapping which can be used in all depths and to which existing databases can be uploaded.
A greatly improved mapping algorithm will reduce roll errors by using best data, both new and historic, and significantly enhance mapping and tracking in shallow water of less than 5 metres.
In additon, aligned water column targets in sonar, sounder, 2D and 3D mapping can now be displayed in the same colour according to target or volumetric strength.
A new Wireless Licence option so that two vessels can share (via wireless connection) each other’s WASSP mapping, including 2D and 3D mapping and backscatter – ideal for fleets or partner boats.
