System overview
Key facts
The Simrad EQ60 echo sounders is designed for the
professional fishery community implementing the latest
innovations.
• The EQ60 system is flexible and easy to configure due to the
modular design.
• Echo sounders ranging from relatively low-cost single beam
to large multi-frequency systems can be realised.
• Menus and dialogue boxes are operated by a standard mouse
or a roller ball.
• Large colour liquid crystal displays (LCD) are used. A
standard computer mouse may be used.
• The EQ60 uses the Microsoft Windows® display interface.
Operation is to a large extent self-explanatory. Getting started
is easy if you are familiar with standard Microsoft
Windows
® programs.
• A store/replay function reduces the need for echogram
printout on paper. The unprocessed transducer signal is
recorded on the internal harddisk. During replay, this signal
is injected into the EQ60 processing software as if it arrived
directly from the transceiver.
Main units
The standard version of the EQ60 echo sounder consists of the
following units:
• a display unit with built-in echo sounder transceiver and
processor units
• a transducer
If required, the system can be expanded with additional
frequency channels by adding single beam General Purpose
Transceiver (GPT) units.
