The Details dialog box lists the following information that is specific to Simrad Ex60 data (*.raw, *.ek60, *.ek6); Simrad Ex70 *.raw data; Simrad EK15 *.raw data and Simrad ME70 *.raw data.

Single beam

Ping from file

Channel ID

Channel ID fields from the data file. This information enables you to match the derived single beam variable to a beam in the derived multibeam variable.

Sound speed Logged sound speed (m/s)
Transducer draft Logged transducer draft (m)
Sample interval Single beam sample interval (s)
Transmit power Single beam transmit power (W)
Pulse length Single beam pulse length (ms)
Transducer gain

Single beam transducer gain (dB)

This is not displayed for Angle data, see Transducer gain.

Absorption coefficient

Logged absorption coefficient (dB/m)

This is not displayed for Angle data.

Sa correction

Single beam Sa correction (dB)

Displayed for Sv data only.

Minor-axis steered angle

The ME70 Alongship beam steering angle (degrees) of the beam for the derived single beam variable.

Note: Exported EVD data for single beam variables may include steered angles from the first ping.

Major-axis steered angle

The ME70 Athwartship beam steering angle (degrees) of the beam for the derived single beam variable.

Note: Exported EVD data for single beam variables may include steered angles from the first ping.
