NMEA ZDA strings are stored in the data files. The position is NOT centralized to the EK60/80 transducers. The PCs are time synchronised via the Windows-Domain-Affiliation
Rawdata storage on board
The data aquisition software ER60 produces raw data of following structure.
| root directory | H:\scientists\data\fishsounder\ |
| directory name | CruiseNo e.g. HE507 |
| file name | Prefix-Dyyyymmdd-Thhmmss.raw |
| Data volume (MB per day) ca. | 3500 |
| Number of files per day ca. | 100 |
DSHIP
Depth information are transferred to DSHIP only if the system is run in the bottom detection mode .
| Device name | Simrad EK_80 |
| Parameter | Depth Fathoms (120 kHz) [F]; Depth Fathoms (200 kHz) [F]; Depth Fathoms (38 kHz) [F]; Depth Fathoms (70 kHz) [F]; Depth Feet (120 kHz) [feet]; Depth Feet (200 kHz) [feet]; Depth Feet (38 kHz) [feet]; Depth Feet (70 kHz) [feet]; Depth Meters (120 kHz) [m]; Depth Meters (200 kHz) [m]; Depth Meters (38 kHz) [m]; Depth Meters (70 kHz) [m] |
Data archiving on land
After consultation with the data scientist and AWI Logistics the EK60/80 data including meta data may be transferred to PANGAEA (https://www.pangaea.de/).
