Echoview Software releases Echoexplore 4 a tool which aims to help catalogue large numbers of hydroacoustic files effortlessly.
To do this, Echoexplore identifies compatible echosounder and sonar data files on a local computer or local network, extracts metadata, and then creates a spatial catalog that allows users to browse the data that has been located. Whether searching for specific hydroacoustic data sets, sorting and browsing through lists or maps, or filtering based on parameters like geographical position, date, time, hardware model, pulse duration, transmitted power and more, Echoexplore aims to help simplify hydroacoustic data file management.
