Zeework Marine Ltd - SonarMite WinCE/PC Software

Ohmex Instrumentation - SonarMite WinCE/PC Software

The SonarMite software is designed to run on a Windows PC or a WinCE PDA to provide the user with a 'front end' to the SonarMite hardware device. In addition to enabling device settings the software will log and display SonarMite depth and GPS data values.

Images shown directly below are screenshots of the PC and PDA versions respectively.

The Smce software presents the user with a three window interface seperated by ‘Splitter Window Bars’ which can be dragged to increase or decrease the active window size. If the window is sized to less than a proportion of its width then the window will suppress graphic output and present a scaled text message.

Heave/Pitch/Roll Window

This window gives a graphic display of heave pitch and roll, if the window is less than a proportion of its width it will revert to a text display.

GPS Positioning Window

This window gives a graphic display of position tracking history over a user defined number of data points, if the window is less than a proportion of its width it will revert to a text display.

Echo Sounder Window

This window gives a graphic display of echo sounder depth scrolling from right to left, if the window is less than a proportion of its width it will revert to a text display.

Screen Shot - Position String Parsing

Position Data Parser Dialog Box

The position string parser will read a complete string into memory and after checking beginning and end strings will strip out any characters other than valid numerics. The remaining numeric field are numbered from 1 to n (max 16) left to right.

Screen Shot - SonarMite Settings

SonarMite Settings Dialog Box

Double tapping the center of the echo sounders display will present the following dialog box with settings for the SonarMite device.

Use GPS - This lets the SonarMite pass GPS data on its serial port through the Bluetooth link
Invert Pitch - Invert the lonitudanal pitch sensing
Invert Roll - Invert the lateral roll sensing
Add heave to depth - Add measured heave to each depth value
Absolute Heave - Continuous heave measurement as opposed to integration timed by depth measurements
Null Local offsets - Set Local Zeros in heave and pitch/roll to adjust for any local attitude.
