New Features to the Teledyne RESON SeaBat T-Series

Teledyne Marine has announced several new features to their world leading multibeam echosounders, the SeaBat T20 and SeaBat T50 - the free of charge SeaBat v2.0 update and now the ability to purchase for the T20 unique Normalized Backscatter.

The SeaBat v2.0 update is applied to the SeaBat by an easy-to-use SeaBatUpdater, so clients can easily update existing SeaBat T-series hardware with these valuable features.

The SeaBat T-series v.2.0 update launches 1024 beams and Sonar UI visualization enhancements at no extra cost, and now clients has availability to acquire the Normalized Backscatter for their SeaBat T20.

With the new v2.0 update Teledyne Marine now introduces 1024 true beams, as well as always having 1024 Soundings, for all single head SeaBat T-series products. The increase from 512 to 1024 beams gives improved target detection capability due to the extremely high data density, leading to more precise surveys and shorter survey time.

For projects where clients need to have a minimum of counts in a grid cell, 1024 beams make it possible to fulfil that requirement, increasing possibilities to win more projects.

Another significant improvement in the SeaBat v2.0 is the visualization feature update to the Teledyne Marine Sonar User Interface (SUI). Adding color by depth, to the already intuitive wedge history display, takes the operator to the next level, making the experience even more intuitive. The real time interpretation of the seabed helps to faster identify survey area aiding productivity.

In the SUI, clients are now able to save the raw S7K files directly to their available drives - this function has been moved from the back end to the SUI - giving an easy and time saving set up by avoiding going out of the SUI to save files.

Finally, the v2.0 update for the SeaBat T-series enables the unique Normalized Backscatter output to also cover the surface based SeaBat T20-P and SeaBat T20-R. When clients purchase this license, they will have the possibility to increase the use of their existing SeaBat T20 with multiple deliverables from a single survey. The backscatter is compensated for the effects of sonar settings which enables collected improved bathymetry data and true backscattering estimations at the same time, thereby reducing survey time and costs.

“With this update we confirm our commitment to continue developing features and performance enhancements to the already world leading SeaBat T-series”, says Uni Bull, Product Manager of the SeaBat systems. “v2.0 Update for SeaBat T-series is the best update we have ever produced. It is an update which we guarantee makes your SeaBat T-series an even more powerful survey tool that will make better use of your resources and manpower.”
