Y, Coda GeoSurvey with Geokit Seismic ships with system as standard |
| What data can be displayed (e.g. depth, classification, thickness)? |
Depth, manual intepretations of subsurface layers, thickness of layers |
| What is the main use of the system? |
High Resolution Geophysical Survey |
| Data output options (e.g. raw data, transducer and motion corrected depth, seafloor classification) |
Raw data from Hydrophone to DA500. Raw or processed data from DA500 in multiple formats. Interpreted seafloor classification output in DXF or CSV format. |
