System Overview

The Echotrac E20 Singlebeam Echosounder is a dual or single-channel echosounder. The Echotrac
E20 is addressing the need for a more compact echosounder for classical day-to-day hydrography on
a vessel of opportunity or as a fixed installation on a survey boat. The system is portable, ruggedized,
and watertight.
