The “BASIC 2D sonar+”  is a low-cost, ultracompact, multi-purpose sonar with integrated thermal sensor.

All signal conditioning – such as dynamic range control and amplitude compression – is handled entirely in the onboard microcontroller using digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms.
This approach provides both high sensitivity and wide dynamic range without the need for analog logarithmic circuitry.
The unit also features a high-performance processor and maintains a fully solid-state design in a stainless-steel enclosure, ensuring durability and reliability for industrial applications. It remains the most affordable model in the SONAR 2D line.

It’s easy to get started with a simple UART interface and open source examples. Its binary protocol provides for maximum performance and data integrity checking. Updating the firmware is simple, providing the most current features or even individualized solutions according to customer needs. Built-in non-volatile flash memory saves its settings even when not connected to power or a host.
