Triton Enhances XTF Format
Triton Imaging, Inc has announced the release of enhancements to its eXtended Triton Format (XTF) specification. The new Version 18 of the XTF specification adds two new sonar manufacturer-specific datagrams to the standard format. The first expands XTF to satisfy the special requirements of some single-beam echosounders as well as the newer technology of multi-transducer echosounders. The second improvement modernizes XTF to accommodate the latest generation of side scan sonars that use a weighting factor to improve dynamic range and increase image quality.
