Specialised 7101 version for surveys in sheltered areas
The new 7101-Flow offers a specialised version of the 7101 specifically for surveys in sheltered areas such as dams, rivers, lakes, harbours where the effects of motion are limited. The systems consists of a standard 7101 with a motion sensor incorporated inside the sonar head enclosure.
The 7101, like the 8101 before it is a stalwart of the hydrographic survey world, brining an unrivalled combination of robustness, portability and performance to a wide range of applications worldwide. Over 300 systems have been delivered since the initial release in 1995 and the 7101 has gained an enviable reputation.
- No need to install a separate motion sensor with cables, power supplies
- No need for calibration – once installed and calibrated once there is no requirement to further calibrate for roll or pitch
- No messy interfaces – a simple, clean installation
The motion sensor provides heave, pitch and roll data to the sonar processor on which is run the data acquisition software, in this case PDS2000. The motion sensor data is also used for real-time roll stabilisation to maximise performance.
This configuration provides an extremely simple and easy-to-install system on any vessel of opportunity and allows users to be out and collecting data extremely quickly with a fast installation & no need to calibrate.
