OVERVIEW 2-2
©2010 SyQwest Incorporated
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.

An external sync connection (J3) is provided on the Bathy-2010PC rear panel to facilitate
Bathy-2010PC operation with other shipboard acoustic equipment. A TTL T0 pulse is also
available along with a BNC connector with an analog representation of the A/D input signal
for both acoustic channels.
2.2 Dual Channel Power Transmitter
The Bathy-2010PC drives the transducers with a Dual Channel Power Transmitter Circuit
Card Assembly. The Transmitter is located inside the Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit and is
capable of delivering 2KW of pulsed power for each of the Acoustic channels. Power
Control is available via the Host interface to allow for low power settings in shallow water
and high power settings in deep depths. The output transformer for each channel is setup
with multiple taps for impedance matching as required. Each Bathy-2010PC Transmit
channel is capable of producing output power from 3.5KHz – 200KHz so multiple
configurations can be supported with a single Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit.
For some applications the transmitter output may be directed to multiple output
transducers when transducer switch option is exercised. The switch is used to select the
appropriate output transformer tap for various transducer power levels and impedance's.
For applications that require the Transducer Switch, the switch may only be changed when
the system is NOT PINGING or the TRANSMIT Power Level is shut OFF. Transmitting
while the switch is being changed can result in voltage arching and possible transmitter
failure.
2.3 Hardcopy

channel processing.
2.7 System Power Up and Controls (Power switches)
The power switch is on the front panel of the the BATHY 2010 unit. Refer to Figure 2-2
2.8
2.8 System Interconnect and Controls
There is a power switch on the front of the unit that must be turned on for the Bathy-
2010PC system to start up, once powered on, a green LED that indicates that power is
present and has been turned on. The Bathy-2010PC is powered by an AC Power cable
P/N: C00199. The AC Power cable includes a 24VDC, 100W power supply in line.
Optionally, the P04412-2 DC power cable can be purchased, and connected to a 12-30
VDC source. The nominal power usage for the Bathy-2010PC Unit varies significantly
depending on the Transmit Power Level. At low power levels only 20 Watts is used. At
high power levels, up to 60 Watts can be necessary. The extra wattage goes to sourcing
the power for the Transmitter outputs. The Bathy-2010PC may require a slightly overrated
Power Supply that can current limit appropriately to accommodate a short current surge at
system power up.

Figure 2-1 shows the basic connections to the unit. In all installations, at least the Power
(J1), Ethernet Port (J2), and Transducer(s) (J9,and or J11) connections must be made
for the unit to function.
As shown above, there is an LED Power On indicator directly above the Power Switch.
When system power has been energized the green LED will be illuminated. All of the
connections are detailed below.
The AC Power cable and the Ethernet CAT5 cable are supplied and ready to plug into
the Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit. No user wiring is necessary. These cables associated
with the Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit are listed below (Table 2-1). The user should make
sure that, after wiring is complete, that the power plug is firmly attached to the unit via
the twist-lock mechanism and the Ethernet connections are snapped in place.
The transducer connections for the Bathy-2010PC will vary depending upon the needs
of the customer. In some applications (small boats, temporary installations) the
Transducer(s) will have the connector attached to the cable at the SyQwest
manufacturing facility, if requested. In more complicated installations, the transducer
connectors will be supplied in kits along with optional Junction boxes, and extension
cables. This provides more flexibility to the user for running cables and terminating the
wires as needed. The Transducer cables, kits, and junction boxes are all listed in Table
1-4 below as well. Note, that these additional items are to be purchased or supplied as
required by the customer, so most but not all items are necessarily included in the

DC Power Connection –J1
When not using the supplied AC Power Cable C00199, follow these instructions:
Before installing the power connection to the unit, the installer must first insure that the
DC power source is in the range of 10-30VDC and is capable of providing 50 watts of
power to the unit. The power source should also be able to provide an initial in-rush
current greater than 50 watts. Due to the high power amplifiers in the Bathy-2010PC
product, it is generally better to power the system with a voltage that is greater than
20VDC if possible (lower current) although a 12V Battery will work fine with the system.
The Bathy-2010PC Sensor unit is reverse polarity and over-voltage protected, however,
it is always required that the power mains be turned off during system wiring for both
personal and equipment safety.
The Power Cable supplied with the system is 10 feet long, and includes 3 conductors.
The wires in the power cable must be connected as follows:
RED – Positive DC Voltage (Fused Lead), DC IN+
BLACK – Negative DC Return, DC IN-
WHITE (GREEN) – Earth Ground, SHLD
The DC Voltage lead includes a 10 Amp in-line Fuse. In the unlikely event that the fuse
is blown it should be replaced with a fuse of the same amperage. Installing an incorrect
fuse can result in damage or fire to the unit if it is not operating properly.
The Power Connector on the Sensor Unit is shown below in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-4 Bathy-2010PC Unit Power Connector
Electrical wiring standards require that the Bathy-2010PC Unit be properly attached to a
solid chassis ground via the ground stud on the unit, or the Earth Ground wire (WHITE
or GREEN) in the P04412 power cable. When connecting to the ground stud, a tinned
copper braided wire (0.190 gauge or greater) is recommended.
NOTE: Connecting the Earth Ground is required for optimum system performance
and safe operation. The white wire in the power cable OR (BUT NOT BOTH) a
ground wire to the unit ground stud is needed. Connecting both the white wire
and the ground stud to earth ground may degrade performance due to induced
ground loops.

Data Interface Connection –J2
The Data Interface cable supplied with the Bathy-2010PC is 10 feet long. It is a
standard CAT5 Ethernet cable and should interface to any Ethernet port on a standard
PC. The user will need to setup the Ethernet port on the computer to support the fixed
IP address associated with the Bathy-2010PC. Refer to the PC Software and Setup
Section 3.2 for instructions on how to configure the PC Ethernet Port for operation with
the Bathy-2010PC.
If the 10 foot length of cable is not enough, the Data Interface Cable may be extended
by using an extension cable or a longer CAT5 cable can be purchased locally.
Transducer Connection J9, J11
The Bathy-2010PC transducer connector is either hardwired directly to the transducer
or connected to the transducer through a Junction Box.
The standard transducer cable is 30 feet in length and has 2 conductors along with a
shield thus, 3 connections are necessary for termination. Due to the wire AWG
variations for different transducers, a 7 and or 10 pin connector will be used to connect
the transducer to the Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit. The appropriate mating connector(s)
will be supplied with the Bathy-2010PC System. Only 3 of the pins on the connector are
wired to the unit, both wiring types are shown below. They are defined as:
WHITE (or BLUE)- Transducer +
BLACK (or BROWN) - Transducer –
GREEN - Transducer Shield

The Firmware download connection for the Bathy-2010PC system is made via the 9 pin
D connector, J6 on the Bathy-2010PC Sensor Unit. The interface is a standard RS-232
connection running at 115.2KBaud. The Firmware Download connection will require a
user supplied 9 Pin D to 9 Pin D serial connection cable. Further instructions on
performing a Firmware download are provided Firmware Flasher section of this manual.
Audio Output Channel 1(J8) and Channel 2 (J10)
The Audio output for each channel provides an analog signal that represents the raw
analog signal present at the A/D Converter in the system. Bathy-2010PC users can use
this output for a variety of purposes but is most useful to investigate operational issues
and also can be connected to allow the logging of raw data from the system.
Host PC Electrical Connections GPS Connection
Connecting a GPS or other Navigation input to the PC running the Bathy-2010PC™
software allows the user to store and annotate Date, Time, Position, and Heading
information to the Acoustic data returns.

OVERVIEW 2-10
The Bathy-2010PC PC Software supports the NMEA 0183 protocol on a COM port that
is software selectable by the user. When selecting a PC to use with the Bathy-2010PC
system the user should ensure that PC hardware supports multiple COM Ports if a
Navigation input is desired. For Portable PC’s, a PCMCIA COM port card can often be
used to provide a 2nd COM port.
The user should refer to the GPS NMEA 0183 output connection information in their
GPS Manual as well as the PC COM port wiring information in their PC Manual to
insure that the Navigation input is wired correctly.
Depth Data Output & External Event Connections
The Bathy-2010PC PC Host application software also supports serial port connections
for the Depth Data output and External Event input that are typical associated with
interfacing to Hydrographic Software packages (i.e. HyPack, HyDroPro, ..).
Printer Connection
The Bathy-2010PC PC Software allows the user to interface to the all of the SYQWEST
TDU Thermal Printers. The connection is established through the PC’s Parallel Printer
Port (25-pin D-Type) as shown below in Figure 2-6. Once the software has been
started, all displayed acoustic data can be printed to the TDU in either Acquisition or
Playback mode.
Figure 2-7 Printer Port
The standard TDU Printer cable is provided with the printer and is 12 feet long and does
not require any user wiring. Installers must locate the printer accordingly.

3.0 Bathy-2010pc Pc Software Installation And Host Setup
This section describes how to install the Bathy-2010PC PC software package. It is
assumed that the reader has a working knowledge of installing Windows XP/Vista®
software. The installation software is located on the CD-ROM disc included with your
Bathy-2010PC.
3.1 Installing The Software
NOTE: It is recommended that you exit all running applications before inserting
the CD and beginning the installation.
To install the PC software, insert the Bathy-2010PC CD into an available drive. If Auto
Insert Notification is enabled on the CD-ROM drive, then the Bathy-2010PC PC
installer will begin automatically. If the CD does not auto-start, simply execute the
SETUP.EXE file in the root directory of the CD.
Once the installer is running, it will verify that your operating system is compatible with
the Bathy-2010PC software, and then it will check which version of the Windows
Installer program is installed in your system. If the Windows Installer program is not
found or out of date, it will update it and prompt you to restart your computer. Once
restarted, the Bathy-2010PC installation will continue automatically.
The InstallShield Wizard will guide you through the next step where you have the option
of choosing an install directory. By default, the Bathy-2010PC PC software is installed
in the Program Files folder under the sub-directory SyQwest.
In the next step, you may choose a Typical, Minimal, or Custom installation. Selecting
Typical will perform a complete install of both the Bathy-2010PC application and
Sample Data for playback. A Minimal installation will only install the Bathy-2010PC
application. Additionally, you can choose Custom to manually select what you would
like installed. Click the next button to continue to the next step.
The rest of the installation process consists of verifying your settings and clicking the
install button. Also, once the installation is complete, you can check the Launch the
program box to execute the Bathy-2010PC software as soon as you close the installer.
If not, you can run the Bathy-2010PC PC software by using the Windows Start button to
find the Bathy-2010PC menu under Programs, or simply double-click on the Bathy-
2010PC icon located on your Desktop.
