Modules

SonarWiz Office 7 Data Acquisition Suite includes single beam, sidescan, sub-bottom, bathymetry and magnetometry. Modules are sold separately or as a complete Suite - only pay for the software that you will use.

Supported Systems (SB, MB, SSS, Lidar etc.)

SonarWiz 7 is compatible with many different sonar manufacturers and file formats for Single Beam, Sidescan, Sub-Bottom Profilers, Magnetometer & Bathmetry including GPS, fathometer, heave sensor, MRU input via COM port or UDP.
