Echo Sounding – Leica SmartWorx & SonarLite for hydrographic surveys
Leica Geosystems ‘System 1200’ can now accept and record depths from an Ohmex SonarMite echo-sounder via a cable. When you measure a GPS position (RTK), the most recently received echo-sounder depth is recorded as an Annotation to that point. For shallow inshore and offshore waters, this new synchronization opens up new possibilities for hydrographic surveying. Using the correct Format File, a CSV coordinate file with measured depth in the 5th column can be exported. Using LGO, or a third party survey software such as SCC, a DTM of the river channel/sea bed can be generated – use ‘Auto Points’ to capture a point every 0.5m, allowing you to navigate the vessel.
Depth Range: 0.30m to 75.00m (Software limited)
Accuracy: +/-0.025m (RMS)
