Page 18: Overview
EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology, the 6205s exceeds IHO SP-44, NOAA, and USACE specifications for feature detection and bathymetric point data uncertainty. EdgeTech’s MPES technology enables the 6205s to produce a wider and cleaner swath (over 200º) than current technologies, resulting in superior coverage enabling faster and safer survey completion. The 6205s concurrently rejects multipath effects, reverberation, and acoustic noise commonly encountered in shallow water environments. -
Page 19: Applications
550 / 1600 kHz Dual Frequency Side Scan with 550 kHz Bathymetry Data The modular design of the 6205s allows for multi-frequency bathymetry options in a single sonar head. The field exchangeable array capability allows both shallow and deep-water operations but is only available with 230 / 550 kHz Side Scan systems. -

The side-scan sonar operates at 230/550 kHz, 540/850, or 550/1600 kHz and collects simultaneously on both frequency channels. Bathymetry is obtained on either the 230 kHz or the 550 kHz. The 6205s utilizes two arrays (port and starboard) to map the seafloor, much like a dual-head multi-beam system. Each 6205s array is constructed using ten independent longitudinal PZT elements and two multi-segment PZT strings. -

4.2.1 Ethernet LAN Connections The Ethernet LAN connection from the sonar head to the 6205s topside interface is made using a physical wired connection via a 1m (40inch) pigtail extension and the standard 20m (65 ft) Deck Cable. The 6205s sonar interface then connects to a topside computer via a standard RJ-45 ethernet plug. -

4-26 4.2.2 Serial Port Connections There are three RS-232 serial ports provided on the 6205s Sonar Interface box. COM1 and COM2 have been configured for high speed and high accuracy). COM3 is configured for standard RS-232 serial connections. Typical latencies for the high speed/high accuracy ports are less than 100us, whereas the standard serial port has up to 100ms. -
Page 44: Serial Port Configuration Examples
These processed navigation and attitude data are transmitted (along with the raw side-scan data) with a common timestamp up the deck cable to the 6205s sonar interface.
