Q112007 It seems that the output format of my echo sounder is not supported, what can I do?
Hydromagic supports most (single beam) echo sounders on the market, including a couple of commonly used echo sounder output format including: NMEA0183 DESO25 Odom SBT/DBT. When your sounder does not support one of the above data outputs, and there is no dedicated plugin for your sounder in ...

Q112008 My dual frequency echo sounder only supports the NMEA0183 output format. How does Hydromagic know which depth is high and which is low frequency?
All depth sentences defined in the NMEA0183 protocol specification are designed for single frequency use. At the moment of writing there are no NMEA0183 sentences which can be used to support dual frequency depth data. Some echo sounder manufacturers have found a way around this by using the "XD ...

Q112010 Can your software simultaneously collect dual frequency for both high and low frequency soundings?
Yes, when your echo sounder has a serial data output capable of transferring dual frequency depth data to a PC, the depth reading for both the high and low frequencies will be stored into the raw data file. You can check if this work by checking the "Data View" window. It should how both depths ...
