F-POD USER GUIDE 5
1 Introduction
This User Guide describes how to set up, deploy and retrieve data from
your F-POD.
F-PODs are fully automated, static, passive acoustic monitoring systems
that detect porpoises, dolphins and other toothed whales by recognising
the trains of echo-location clicks they make to detect their prey, orientate
and interact.
The ability of F-PODs to accept broadband clicks means that:
▪
different filter settings are unnecessary, making setup very simple
▪
logging is very uniform between different F-PODs within a project
▪
there is an opportunity to integrate data from different projects over
wide geographical areas.
The F-POD click data are stored on an SD card in the POD.
After deployment, the data are downloaded from the SD card onto a PC
and are then analysed using the supplied F-POD PC app. The app
automatically identifies the presence of cetaceans by detecting the trains
of ultrasonic echo-location clicks they produce. The app can also be used
to compare F-POD and C-POD data.
