1.2 Innomar SBP User Manual
This manual describes how to install and use the INNOMAR sub-bottom profilers and is applicable
to all INNOMAR SBP models.
The manual is divided into a “QuickStart Manual” (chapter 2, page 17), a hardware orientated
part (chapter 3, page 25) and a description of the INNOMAR control and data acquisition software
SESWIN (chapters 4 to 8). First the SESWIN software is explained item by item (chapter 5), then
use cases are discussed (chapters 6 and 7). For questions and trouble-shooting, please refer to
chapters 8 and 13.
