Different datagram formats

Different EM multibeams will use and log data on different formats.
KMall format
The KMall format is the successor of the all format, and uses the file extension kmall.
Water column data can be logged in a separate file with extension kmwcd. The format is
a generic format with high resolution data and the structure of the datagram is designed
to make updates easier.
EM multibeams using KMall will be controlled and configured using the K-Controller
and can acquire and log data using SIS 5 or other third party acquisition software.
Next generation multibeams will only have support for KMall format, and as such will
require K-Controller and SIS5. This includes:
• EM 124
• EM 304
• Any future EM multibeams
The KM multibeam output datagram format is described in a Doxygen document,
a documentation generator writing software reference documentation, and can be
downloaded from the Kongsberg websites.
