At least twice a day, perform a velocity
cast and note the cast number.
Note the reading which is at the same
depth as the ES3 head. Input that number
into the ES3 control software.
Using the Digibar software upload and
store the cast on the Hysweep computer.
Convert the cast from a CSV to a VEL.
Using Hysweep, import the cast.

Digibar V
The Digibar V was designed from the beginning to
provide accurate and timely velocity information to
your multibeam system or other acoustic
instrument where knowledge of the speed of
sound in water is required. Output format, update
rate, and baud rates are all adjustable to suit your
application. Digital filtering techniques applied to
the time of flight derived sound velocity, improves
the quality of the data output minimizing false
reading. The compact unit is easy to install
utilizing the tapped holes in the stainless steel
head module and the supplied clamping system.
Connection is via one underwater cable that
supplies both power to the instrument and returns
velocity data to the topside junction box.
