The table below shows what selections are required to log specific data types to raw files in case
there is no acquisition software subscription. Please note that the View Backscatter selection has
no impact on recorded data types, whereas the View WC selection does.
Note also that beam intensity values, at the bottom detection point, are recorded within the
bathymetry packets. This is automatically output and requires no configuration in the GUI. It can be
used to provide coarse backscatter, separately from the side scan and snippets outputs.

Data Output via Network Subscription
Currently the NORBIT GUI supports streaming s7k records 7000, 7004, 7006, 7007, 7027,
7028, and 7042 via the subscription model (record 7500 with ID 1051). All subscriptions can be
ended with record 7500, ID 1052.
Supported single request records (via record 7500 with ID 1050): 7001
Successful requests are replied with record 7501 (ACK) while unsuccessful ones return record 7502
(NACK). This is based on RESON’s data format definition (DFD) version 2.43. The following table
describes the current s7k records output by the Proxy Server contained in the NORBIT GUI:
