SUB-BOTTOM PROFILER EDGETECH 3200
- The EdgeTech 3200 Sub-bottom Profiling System is a wideband Frequency
Modulated (FM) sub-bottom profiler utilizing EdgeTech’s proprietary Full
Spectrum CHIRP technology. The 3200 generates high resolution images of the
sub-bottom stratigraphy in oceans, lakes, and rivers and provides penetration
of up to 200m.
- The 3200 comes available with a choice of three stable, low drag towfish that
operate at different frequencies and can be used at depths of up to 300m. The
selection of towfish depends on the sub-bottom characteristics as well as the
resolution and penetration requirements.
- Along with a towfish, a standard 3200 system comes with a topside processor
running EdgeTech’s DISCOVER sub-bottom acquisition & processing software
as well as a customer-specified length of tow cable. 3200 can also be interfaced
to 3rd party software.
