Description
The SIDE-ENHANCED is a low-cost, compact, high-performance, multi-purpose side scan sonar module. It contains a high performance processor with DSP that provides high-sensitivity and high-dynamic range. Its solid-state design within a stainless steel case makes it a durable and unpretentious operational device for industrial applications.
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.
