CHAPTER 1 Overview

1.1.3

The Computer Display and Control Unit (computer) supports the PC based

Windows operating system as the display and control interface. This provides for

an easy to use familiar graphical user interface and simple expansion capabilities

to a wide assortment of equipment. The software is set up in a client-server format,

allowing for flexible and expandable system configurations with multiple

computers connected over a TCP/IP fast Ethernet network, all sharing the sonar

data.

1.1.4

Coaxial or optional fiber-optic, double-armored, steel tow cable is used to transmit

data bidirectionally from the towfish to the TPU.

1.2

Features

The Series 5000 Sonar System has the following capabilities:

• High speed, high resolution, multibeam side scan sonar

• 12-bit digital multiplexer for transmission of sonar and control

data over a single coaxial cable

• Integrated attitude and ancillary sensors

• Easy to use graphical user interface (GUI)

• Data can be stored on the hard disk drive or on a CD

• Flexible and expandable system configurations

Physical Description

The Series 5000 Sonar System consists of two major subsystems: the surface

equipment and the subsurface equipment.

1.3.1

The surface subsystem comprises the TPU, the Computer Display and Control

Unit (computer), and the Ethernet Hub.

Transceiver and Processing Unit (TPU).

shown in Figure 1-1. The main power switch is located on the lower right

corner of the access panel. The TPU is rack mountable in a standard 48.26 cm

(19 inch) rack and contains electronics for receiving sonar data, downlink

multiplexing of control signals to the towfish, and uplink demultiplexing of

sonar and auxiliary sensor signals.
