Different datagram formats
Different EM multibeams will use and log data on different formats.
Table 11 Data format supported by Multibeams
KMall format
EM 304
EM 124
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 data 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.
Newer generation multibeams will only have support for KMall format, and as such will
require K-Controller and SIS 5.
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.
See the page to download the Doxygen document:

all format
Older generation EM multibeams will not have support for the new data format or use
the K-Controller and SIS 5.
The all output datagram format is described in a separate document EM Datagram
formats document number 160692, and can be downloaded from the Kongsberg websites.

Both formats
For multibeams that supports both formats, KONGSBERG will continue to do
maintenance and bug fixing for all and SIS 4. Any new feature development will only be
available for KMall and SIS 5. Upgrading to the new format, K-Controller and SIS 5 is
free, but new features might be licensed.
