New patented MA3 Multi-Aspect® operating principle, whereby multiple, real-time observations of each voxel are carried out at multiple aspect angles, at increased survey speed. All sensors and software required to perform a hydrographic survey are included and native to the Voxometer. It is a unified solution powered by multiple new patented technologies, which measure voxels.
How it operates
Voxometer® provides a completely intuitive and easy end-2-end user experience.
Improving every step of your survey from easy installation, simple
communication set-up and simple processing of data that is clean and accurate.
Operate in Classic or Vox Mode
The Voxometer has 2 powerful modes of operation:
- CLASSIC MODE: Delivers industry-leading traditional multibeam performance and workflow, with enhanced double and quad swath modes and 100kHz to 1MHz operating frequency. A multibeam on steriods!
- VOX MODE: Unlocks a new standard in efficiency and data quality with the MA3 Multi-Aspect® principle and UDSD® user defined sampling density, that provides NEQD™ near end quality data straight out of the system, eliminating the need for external post-processing of data.
What it provides
UDSD® - User Defined Sampling Density – is the world’s first operating mode
that samples the bottom exactly where you want, with the precise density you
choose, providing highly accurate and precise NEQD™ near end-quality data.
Currently available in 3 models: M, L and XL
