2.0 SPECIFICATIONS a. Vertical resolution is the smallest distinguishable distance between the peaks of two reflections that can be displayed on the screen as separate reflectors. Sound energy is reflected back to the sonar system when the transmitted pulse encounters a change in density. The resolution of a sonar system is measured by its ability to distinguish between two adjacent targets. -

USTOMER ERVICE for the wiring recommendation. 3. Can you interface a 3200-XS Sub-Bottom Profiling System to a transmit/receive hull mounted array that is customer supplied? This can be done; however, special engineering and calibration is required for optimum results. EdgeTech can provide these services. In short, the output impedance of the Power Amplifier in the Deck Unit must match the input impedance of the transducer array. - Page 76 B.0: FAQ 7. How do environmental conditions affect performance of the 3200-XS Sub-Bottom Profiling System? There are several environmental factors that affect performance: Geological conditions 3200-XS Sub-Bottom Profiling System operating parameters and listed specifications are greatly affected by the geologic conditions that the acoustic energy transmitted from the tow vehicle encounters.
