5 OPERATION OF THE SONIC 2024/2022 VIA SONIC CONTROL
The Sonic 2024/2022 multibeam echosounders are controlled by the Sonic Control software. The
Sonic Control GUI does not require a dedicated computer and is usually installed on the user’s data
collection computer.
5.1 Installing Sonic Control Graphical User Interface
Sonic Control is supplied on a CD or as an attached file. There is no installation program, merely
decompress the program to a folder in a root directory of the computer. Send the R2Sonic.exe to
the desktop as a short cut (right click on R2Sonic.exe and choose Send to -> Desktop (create
shortcut)). The computer must have the Windows .NET Framework installed. This can be
downloaded, for free, from the Microsoft web site (dotnetfix35.exe). NB. Do not install Sonic
Control under Windows’ Program Files or put all files on the Desktop.
