CM2 Sidescan Sonar User Manual 2. System Components
C-Case SE
The C-Case SE is also an all-weather data acquisition unit. It takes advantage of the availability of
ruggedized laptop PC’s such as the Panasonic Toughbook series to eliminate the need for the under-panel
integral CPU as fitted to the C-Case 2. Like all the later (non-MaxPro) CM2 systems it uses MaxView or
third-party acquisition software running under Windows.

Tow Cables
The CM2 tow cables use a single pair of electrical conductors to carry both data and power. There are two
types of tow cable offered with the CM2. “Soft” cable is intended for shallow work, where the cable can be
hauled and veered manually. The alternative is steel-armoured cable handled by a winch. Various diameters
of steel-armoured cable are available, the smallest being 4.7mm used on the CM2-WIN-300 winch.
Accessories
Optional accessories including winches, wing depressor, counting pulleys, polemount bracket and USBL
bracket, are described in Sections 16-21.
