2.0 System Overview
The following paragraphs will provide an overview of each individual system
component. Each BATHY-2010P system component has been designed in such a
manner as to emphasize performance and flexibility.
2.1 Bathy 2010 Data Acquisition and Playback Unit
The Bathy 2010™ a Windows XP compatible Chirp Sub-Bottom Profiler capable of fully
automatic as well as manual operation. The BATHY 2010 is designed for ease of
operation and provides a hardcopy interface via a parallel port to gray-shade thermal
recorders. The system is capable of real time display of sounding information as well as
simultaneous depth digitizing, hardcopy and digital storage. An Ethernet interface
(CAT5 /100 Megabit) is available to store or back-up stored SEG-Y Processed or raw
data to the vessels network or it can store the data to its internal hard drive. The data
back-up can also be transferred to the Bathy 2010’s internal CD/DVD RW Drive for data
archiving. It also has eight serial communication links for navigation/ position data,
ships data, data-logging output, etc. It provides a completely integrated electronic
environment with all other survey electronic equipment.
The Bathy 2010 System is packaged within a ruggedized 19-inch rack mount enclosure.
The main processing elements are a Pentium 4 CPU Pcb with 1GB of RAM and an
embedded TI DSP. One CPU handles serial I/O and data acquisition and processing. The
signal-processing element of the BATHY-2010P system The Bathy 2010 design utilizes an
extremely flexible / re-programmable DSP architecture. This benefits the user by allowing
it the ability to alter many of the Bathy 2010s transmit/receive signal processing
characteristics. For example, the low frequency processing channel provides the user with
both a linear FM and CW pulse mode of operation. In linear FM mode operation the user
may select sweep bandwidths of 1 KHz, 2 KHz and 4 KHz. The user may also select
between FM sweep duration's of 5, 10, 25, and 50 msec. CW pulse mode of operation
allows for various pulse duration's with matching receiver bandwidths and waveform
shapes. Transmit signal synthesis provides modulation and pulse shaping capability as
well as pre-distortion of replica waveform to equalize transducer effects. The high
frequency processing channel provides the CW pulse mode of operation only.
The analog front end provides automatic gain control (AGC), which expands the usable
dynamic range of the unit to 144 db. The signal processing hardware utilizes the latest
technology including an Intel Pentium 4 and two Texas Instrument DSPs to provide peak
performance capability, which exceeds 65 MIPS.
An external sync connection is provided on the Bathy 2010 rear panel to facilitate BATHY-
2010P operation with other shipboard acoustic equipment.

needs. The basic building block for the LPT is a 5-kilowatt linear power amplifier module.
Configurations providing from 5KW to 30KW are available in 5KW increments. All LPTs
are 19-inch rack mountable units.
The LPT utilizes pulse width modulation switching technology. This topography of
amplifier, digitally samples the input signal at greater than five times its own frequency with
the resultant digital wave train being filtered to reconstruct the original signal at the
amplifier output. This results in an efficiency rating of greater than 80% at full rated power.
The maximum operating duty cycle is 20% at full power with a 1-50 KHz bandwidth. The
LPT offers greater than 70 db operating dynamic range. It receives its input waveform and
control signals from the BATHY 2010 via a ground-isolated interface.
The LPT output may be directed to multiple output transducers when the front panel
transducer switch option is exercised. The switch is used to select the appropriate output
transformer tap for various transducer power levels and impedance's.
-Note-
On Multi-Frequency LPT’s, the transducer select switch shall be toggled only after
setting the transmit power level parameter to “OFF”.

that you use the 192.168.199.113 address.
If you have only one network connection,
and you move the network cable from
your standard network connection to the
Bathy when collecting data, you may
prefer to set up the “alternate
configuration” as shown to the left. This
will preserve your “main” network settings,
and default to these only when plugged
into the Bathy.
3.2.2 Setting an Alternate Static IP Address for Network Connection
If you move your computer from being connected from a LAN using DHCP to your
Bathy-2010P or other equipment that uses a static IP address, you can set your
computer up to automatically switch to the “alternate” static IP address.
The use of the alternate IP address occurs when the computer cannot find a DHCP
server such as when it is connected to your Bathy-2010P.

3.3 Bathy 2010 P Software Operation
This section describes how to operate the Bathy 2010 Data Acquisition / Playback Unit
using the PC Software package included with your Bathy 2010.
Figure 3-1 Main Window
3.3.1 - The Main Window
The Bathy 2010 Main interface is divided into two fields, the Controls and Status field,
and the Data field. The vertical window boundary between the fields may be positioned
by the user as desired.
The Controls and Status field is located in the left portion of the window. It provides
access to all of the user controlled parameters. Specifically, the Controls and Status
field includes digital depth, an animated compass with heading marks in degrees, GPS
Position, Time/Date, Ping Count, available disk space (for data storage), and Bathy
2010 Data Acquisition / Playback Unit status.

The Data field is located in the right portion of the window. It displays the actual echo
data. The Data field can be viewed in either Normal or Zoom mode. In Normal Mode,
the entire Data field is used for displaying non-zoomed bottom data. In Zoom Mode, the
Data field is divided in half to show zoomed data on the left and normal bottom data on
the right. While echo data is being shown in either mode, the user may use the mouse
to obtain a digital depth value anywhere in the water column by pointing and clicking.
See the below picture and table for more info. (The picture reflects the software in Zoom
mode)

2. Function Key Controls
The Function Keys on the Keyboard are setup to allow the operator easy access to the most
frequently used parameter controls in the Bathy 2010 system. A mouse or trackball can be used
to access all of the parameters as well but often in shipboard conditions, the use of pointing
devices can be difficult so having “Hot Keys” is beneficial.
Function Keys F1 through F11 are all available and the use of each is described on the
list below:
•F1 – Gain
•F2 – System Range
•F3 – System Power Level
•F4 – BT Gain
•F5 – Playback, Play Button
•F6 – Playback, Fast Forward
