Trimble Hydrographic Extensions

SCS900 - Ohmex Instruments

Users of Trimble Construction SCS900 software are now able to easily measure water depth and execute accurate small-scale hydrographic surveys. Ohmex Ltd has made use of the SCS900 Software Developers Kit (SDK) to produce a software utility that runs on the controller and supplies depth data to SCS900. This increment in functionality further enhances the use of the SCS900 system on marine construction sites where dams or waterways are present.The concept of the Sonar extension to SCS900 is to enable the construction user to execute simple Hydrographic surveys using their SCS900 software together with existing positioning equipment, no need to learn another package or convert to new reporting facilities, the sonar effectively behaves as an extension to the existing survey detail pole for measuring water depth. The software is an inter-application package with both the SCS900 and SonarMite applications running concurrently on a TSC2, Tablet or PC platform. For evaluation purposes the SonarMite application has a 'Simulator' mode that generates sine wave data without the need for a SonarLite echo sounder to be connected ...
