Acquisition GeoDAS-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
world-vector shoreline databases. Chart Support
feature allows loading of raster and vector
nautical charts in GeoDAS. SmartSonarTM
Automated tuning of sensor and display. Real-time
Mosaics Create real-time, co-registered,
user-adjustable mosaics of up to four layers of
sidescan, backscatter, bathymetry, magnetometry
or seabed type. Client-Server Mode allows GeoDAS
to broadcast records over a network or serial
connection in real-time to a remotely located
GeoDAS Client terminal.
