MiniSounder
The Mini Sounder, housed in a watertight die-cast aluminum enclosure, has one frequency agile channel within the range of 24-210kHz.The system requires a direct USB connection to the user's computer. Knudsen's SounderSuite software is supplied with the system which allows the user to control, operate and record the full echogram on their computer through the EchoControl portion of the software. The PostSurvey portion allows to view and print the recorded data on any standard windows printer.
