102 User’s Manual INNOMAR Parametric Sub-Bottom Profilers / SESWIN
102 Innomar Technologie GmbH (2023-01)
To get the highest possible ping rate with the INNOMAR system you should use the smallest useful
range length for both systems (MBES and INNOMAR SBP).
MBES settings
To avoid the MBES picking up the SBP interference, it is possible to use gates for seabed
detection within the RESON SeaBat MBES software. Please refer to the SeaBat manual how to
set up these gates.
The following picture shows, how some areas are not used for the seabed
detection. Once the depth filter is applied, the interferences are not causing
wrong bottom detection anymore. The method will work as long as the depth
filter setting is adjusted relating to the water depth and the selected operating
range. The filter range should not be too large.
Screen shots below illustrate gate settings and interference on the SeaBat screen (dual head
version).
Please keep in mind to use smallest useful range and the highest possible transmit energy at the
MBES to ensure highest data density and best bottom detection:
