This page summarizes the new features, improvements and other changes that have been implemented in Echoview 4.60 which specifically affect the use of data from Kongsberg echosounders.

Support for MS 1000 4-bit sample data and bug fix

Echoview is pleased to announce support for 4-bit (compressed) sample data in MS 1000 data files. Prior to Echoview 4.60, 4-bit sample data was not supported. However, 4-bit sample data was read by Echoview (incorrectly). Problems with such files only appeared when you scrolled to the end of the echogram.

Refer to Kongsberg data files - MS 1000 data format for more information.
