Please note that operations of the Fishing Echo Sounder Simrad EK 60 / EK 80 requires experienced scientific staff on board and can be only operated on request. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Request operations with the Fishing Echo Sounder Simrad EK 60 / EK 80 to AWI-Logistics in sufficient time prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise. Data quality of Fishing Echo Sounder Simrad EK 60 / EK 80 is decreased by operating other Echo Sounders. Switch off these Echo Sounders for high data quality. |

Components
The four split beam transducer ES-38B, ES-70C, ES-120C and ES-200C are installed in the keel of RV Heincke. The transceiver and receiver are situated in the Lotgeraeteraum. Three PCs are available for handling of the EK60/80 on the bridge, in the Messraum and in the dry laboratory. Additionally a display is located in the wet laboratory.
The PCs are equipped with the aquisiton and processing software ER60. For further processing the software "echoview" may be used. A dongle is required for usage of the software. The dongle is NOT permanently stored on the ship. Please contact the responsible person for usage of the dongle in advance of the cruise.
