Surface Processor Unit

The Surface Processor Unit (sometimes referred to as “Processor”) has a built-in
PC mother board, Windows XP

®

* operating system, and a hard drive with at

least 2GB disk space. The system provides a control and display application
TS331A.exe (installed on the Processor), which is a very convenient tool for
users to control system parameters such as acoustic operating range, scan
speed, scan area, etc. It also displays real-time data such as depth/temperature,
vertical sonar images, echo sounder images, pitch and roll, and catch sensor
information on the screen in resizable windows.

The mouse connects at the rear of the Processor and functions to control the
system, from various menus. Note that the system can also be controlled from a
keyboard (local supply).
