1.0 INTRODUCTION
The BATHY-2010 system provides high performance bathymetric and sub-bottom survey
capability from shallow inland waterways to full ocean depth. The system configuration is
extremely flexible and can be easily modified to accommodate the specific needs of individual
customers. The BATHY-2010 system is comprised of the following electronic components:
•Bathy 2010 Data Acquisition System (Sonar/Sensor Unit)
•Hardcopy Support for a multitude of standard devices
and one or more of the following transducers:
•TR-109 3.5KHz Transducer
•TC-12/34 12KHz Widebeam Transducer
•TC-12NB 12KHz Narrowbeam Transducer
•TC-2084 33KHz Transducer
An individual configuration may contain all or a subset of the above mentioned components.
1.1 Safety
The following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures and
therefore do not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions
that personnel must understand and apply during many phases of operation and maintenance.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS - Operating personnel must at all times observe all safety
regulations. Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the equipment with the
high voltage supply turned on. Under certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist when
the power control is in the off position, due to charges retained by capacitors. To avoid
casualties, always remove power and discharge and ground a circuit before touching it.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE - Under no circumstances should any person reach
into to enter the enclosure for the purposes of servicing or adjusting the equipment except in the
presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.
RESUSCITATION - Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with
modern methods of resuscitation.
The following WARNINGS appear in the text of this manual and are repeated here for
emphasis:

INTRODUCTION 1-2
-WARNING-
200Volts DC is present in the Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit. Thus, the risk of electrical
shock and serious injury is present. All precautions should be taken to insure no human
contact is made to the unit while power is on. Also note, High Voltage may be present
until the High Voltage Capacitors discharge. Contact SyQwest support personnel before
opening the Sensor unit at any time.
The following CAUTIONS appear in the text of this manual and are repeated here for emphasis:
-CAUTION-
This test involves contact with ESD (Electrostatic Sensitive Devices). Normal
precautions involve the use of anti-static protection material and ground straps for test
personnel.
1.2 List of Additional Items
There are no additional items required to operate the BATHY-2010 system.
1.3 Shipping and Handling
The BATHY-2010PC units are typically delivered in a roto-mold rack-mount case, additional
items may be shipped in reinforced cardboard, with foam packing. The boxes and foam should
be saved for future use. If saving the box and foam is not practical, equivalent packaging
procedure should be used.
1.4 Emergency Operation and Shutdown
Under any emergency, adverse, or abnormal ship conditions, the BATHY-2010 system
electronics should be powered down. The system is powered down by placing the rocker switch
on the front panel of the unit into the OFF position.

2.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The following paragraphs will provide an overview system components.
Each BATHY-2010PC system component has been designed in such a manner as to
emphasize performance and flexibility. Four removable Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
assemblies are used within the system; a dual channel transmitter for transmit
functions, a DSP and receiver board utilizing the latest in microprocessor technology,
and an I/O Board. These modular electronic components provide for simple installation
and maintenance. Transducers with selectable frequencies ranging from 3.5 to 200kHz
are compatible with the BATHY-2010PC frequency selected at time of purchase.
Transducers can be selected for over-the-side mounting or hull mounting.
Optional hardware features include external storage, Thermal Display Unit (TDU), rack-
mount kit, bulkhead mount kit, transducers and transducer mounts.

OVERVIEW 2-2

2.1 Bathy 2010 Data Acquisition and Playback
The Bathy 2010™Host PC software is a Windows XP application providing a simple
interface for reliable depth data acquisition in both fully automatic as well as manual
mode.. The BATHY 2010 is designed for ease of operation and provides a hardcopy
interface via a parallel port to gray-shade thermal recorders via the user supplied PC.
The system is capable of real time display of sounding information as well as
simultaneous depth digitizing, hardcopy and digital storage. A single Ethernet
connection (CAT5 /100 Megabit) is used for all communication between the Bathy-
2010PC Sensor Unit and the Host PC application. All of the acquired data can be
stored and played back in the ODC format on a network drive or on the internal hard
drive of the PC. The system is capable of interfacing to the standard Hydrographic
Software packages (HYPACK, HYDROpro, …) via serial interfaces. It also interfaces
directly to a GPS and/or Heave sensor. Firmware download is also available via a
serial connection so all embedded processing updates can be made by the user. The
Bathy-2010PC provides a completely integrated solution for marine surveys when used
in conjunction with the appropriate navigation instruments and software.
The Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit is packaged within a ruggedized, aluminum enclosure.
The main processing elements are an embedded DSP for signal processing and an
embedded RISC processor for handling the Ethernet interface. One CPU handles serial
I/O and data acquisition and processing. The signal-processing element of the BATHY-
2010 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,
25msec.
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 two Texas Instrument DSPs to provide peak performance capability,
which exceeds 65 MIPS The Bathy-2010PC design utilizes an extremely flexible DSP
architecture. This benefits the user by allowing them the ability to alter many of the Bathy-
2010PC transmit/receive signal processing characteristics to achieve the optimum system
performance for a wide range of applications.
