Transducer depth operating ranges include 120 m, 300 m, 1500 m, 3000 m and 6000 m (depending on series type), with a swath coverage of 7.4x water depth. The SeaBat utilizes up to 3,000 soundings per second for a swath that can be over 500 meters wide, and a measurement rate up to 40 profiles per second.
The SeaBat 9001 operates at a frequency of 455 kHz, with a depth range of 140 meters.
Transducer depth operating ranges include 350 and 500 meters, with a swath coverage of 2x to 4x water depth.
OIC supports SeaBat data acquisition using GeoDAS-MB, with support for bathymetry, beam-amplitude, sidescan and snippets.
