Specific echosounder and sonar changes |
New or extended support for specific file formats. |

|
Frequency dependent calibration |
Echoview introduces support for frequency dependent values of some common calibration settings that may be recorded for wideband data: |
Supports wideband calibration. |
|
Target frequency response graph |
New Single target detection - wideband Variable Properties settings that specify the size of a target data window for Target Frequency Response graph calculations. In effect, only data inside the data window is used for the graph. The settings are also supported under Echoview COM. |
Can restrict data used for the target frequency response graph. |
New Operators and Operator enhancements |
||
|
Sonic split-beam beam compensation |
Sonic split-beam beam compensation is now available for single target detection split beam variables. |
A new beam compensation model. |
|
Single target detection - wideband |
New settings that specify the size of a target data window for Target Frequency Response graph calculations. In effect, only data inside the data window is used for the graph. |
Cleaner target frequency response data. |
Scripting and COM objects
|

|
Single target detection - wideband |
Support for new settings under the Single target detection - wideband variable that specify that only data inside the data window is used for the Target Frequency Response graph. EvSingleTargetDetectionWidebandParameters.FrequencyResponseWindowSizeAbove EvSingleTargetDetectionWidebandParameters.FrequencyResponseWindowSizeBelow |
|
|
EBeamCompensation |
Support for the Sonic split-beam beam compensation model with enum eBeamCompensationSonic = 5 |
|
|
EVariableDataType |
COM changes to the EVariableDataType to support angular position wideband and pulse compressed complex angular position wideband variables.
As a result of these design changes, virtual variables connected to angular position wideband variables will need to be reconnected. |
|
Documentation changes |
||
|
Bottom classification practical notes |
Observations about acoustic bottom classification that may useful for your equipment set up and recording and analysis. |
|
| COM breadcrumb and COM map update | COM class and collection breadcrumbs at the top of COM pages are updated to show the entire class and collection path to EvApplication. The COM hierarchy map has been updated as well. | |
|
Live viewing shared folder |
Restart Echolog after sharing a folder to ensure the broadcast of the 'shared' folder is sent to Echoview. For further information refer to Using live viewing: Access shared directories. |
|
|
Module pages |
Update and streamlining of module pages. |
|
|
Operator settings and algorithms |
Streamlined virtual variable documentation brings together in one place operator description, settings and algorithms. |
|
Bug fixes |

|
Ping and GPS fix Cell analysis and export |
For a ping at the end of an echogram, Echoview searches for the next valid fix. When a valid fix cannot be found, Echoview will interpolate. Previously, the search for a valid fix was restricted to within a 30 second gap. The previous ping and GPS rules also caused bugs with onscreen integration and related cell export. The integration bugs are fixed by the change in ping and GPS rules. |
