Acquisition: Geo. DAS-PC Geophysical Data Acquisition System. Good data made easy, right out of the box. Selected New Features Survey Management Package supports design, editing and execution of survey run lines. Survey planning module includes free charts of the world, and bathymetric and worldvector shoreline databases. Chart Support feature allows loading of raster and vector nautical charts in Geo. DAS. Smart. Sonar. TM: Automated tuning of sensor and display. Real-time Mosaics: Create real-time, co-registered, useradjustable mosaics of up to four layers of sidescan, backscatter, bathymetry, magnetometry or seabed type. Client-Server Mode allows Geo. DAS to broadcast records over a network or serial connection in real-time to a remotely located Geo. DAS Client terminal. Supported Sensors (Partial list) Sidescans: AMS / Sea.
