Sonar Processing Software - MS1000
The MS1000 Sonar Processing Software is a Windows-based application that can be configured to control the complete digital line of KONGSBERG's single-beam scanning sonar and altimeter products. The software program converts any standard personal computer (PC) into a fully functional sonar processor without the need for additional boards or hardware, and is designed to ensure compliance to reliability, statutory and regulatory requirements.
There are two editions of MS1000 software, the Express Edition and the Standard Edition. The Express Edition provides basic functions for the Company's sonar heads and does not require a security key for operation. The Standard Edition of MS1000 software is for customers requiring increased functionality. This version has many advanced features for data interpretation that are beneficial to various underwater applications. Please see the chart below for a complete list of features available in each edition.
Features
- 3D profiling possible with rotating device
- Track Plotter module allows user to plot scanned area, geo-reference targets and create GeoTIFFs
- Target tracking
- Simultaneous multi-head operation
- Coordinate system support – supports local coordinate system for different countries and territories
