SonarWiz Field & Office Sub-bottom
Sub-bottom profiler data collection and post-processing
Comprehensive signal processing and gain control options for sub-bottom profile data, including features designed specifically for marine surveys such as heave removal and datum alignment
Description
DATA PROCESSING
Comprehensive signal processing and gain control options for sub-bottom profile data, including features designed specifically for marine surveys such as heave removal and datum alignment. Easily apply gains and filters, edit or inject navigation, correct vertical offsets and apply datum adjustments to the entire survey, then export the corrected profiles to new SEGY files or other formats for processing in 3rd party seismic or GIS software.
INTERPRETATION & VISUALIZATION Interactive color tools and data filtering options help you make your data look its best. Digitize acoustic reflectors and record acoustic intersecting profiles directly in the digitizer. Annotate your profiles with well logs to aid interpretation and perform isopach and volumetric computations on the layers you’ve identified. View your data in both 2D and 3D windows. Generate customized reports of your work and export your data directly to one of the many supported GIS or CAD formats.
LICENSING
SonarWiz is modular and each component can be purchased separately, as an add-on, or as part of a Field or Office bundle. We offer dongle and dongle-free licensing (DFL) options. DFL licenses eliminate the risk of lost or stolen dongles and can be transferred between any two internet-con-nected PCs in seconds. Network and Academic options are also available.
