1.2 Overview
The Simrad EK60 scientific echo sounder system is designed for
fishery research and incorporates the following primary
features:
• The system is flexible and easy to configure due to its
modular design.
• User menus, dialogue boxes and system functions are
manipulated using a standard mouse or roller ball. User input
is provided using a standard keyboard.
• Raw sample data and/or data for further processing can be
stored on the system’s hard disk (or other recordable media).
• The EK60’s display has been designed with the standard
Microsoft Windows interface in mind and operation is to a
large extent very similar. Getting started should be relatively
simple for users familiar with Microsoft Windows
programs with basic system operation being intuitive.
• The store/replay function reduces the need for echogram
printout on paper. Unprocessed transducer signals are
recorded directly to the system’s harddisk. During replay,
signals are input into the echo sounder software as if it they
where received directly from a transceiver.
