used in conjunction with a NMEA $ZDA message input to add an accurate time
stamp to the data. The TPU provides power and downlink commands to the
towfish by combining 200 VDC with FSK control signals for transmission over
the coaxial conductor in the tow cable. In addition, the TPU initiates each ping
cycle to the side scan sonar and provides a trigger signal simultaneously with the
responder trigger generated in the towfish for use with an acoustic positioning
system.

SonarPro Workstation

The SonarPro Workstation is optionally available and is shown in Figure 1-4. It is
an industrial grade Intel Pentium Dual Core based computer housed in a 19-inch
rack mountable 2U chassis that inputs processed and time tagged sonar and sensor
data from the TPU over an Ethernet 10/100/1000baseT connection. A SATA hard
drive is included with the Microsoft Windows operating system and SonarPro
installed. SonarPro is a comprehensive Windows based software program that
provides multiple displays of real-time or saved sonar and sensor data and towfish
status. SonarPro also allows you to record all acquired sonar and sensor data. The
SonarPro Workstation also includes a high resolution 27-inch 2560 x 1440
monitor, a keyboard and a mouse.
