Device driver for the Imagenex 852 High Frequency Echo Sounder.
This device driver is capable of controlling the following parameters:
- Range: Range of the echosounder. Unit is meter, the default value is 50, and the domain is {5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50}.
- Profile Minimum Range: Minimum range for profile point digitization. Unit is meter, the default value is 0, and the domain is [0, 25] in 0.1 meter increments.
- Start Gain: Unit is Decibel, the default value is 20 and the domain is {0, 1, 2, ..., 40}.
- Pulse Length: Length of acoustic transmit pulse. Unit is second, default value is 15μs and the domain is [0.0, 0.000255] in 1μs increments.
- Data Points: Number of sonar return data points
- 0 no data points are returned by the head.
- 252: 252 data points are returned by the head.
- 500: 500 data points are returned by the head.
This driver will output raw data from the sonar for each measurement. as well as the first digitized range value above threshold in meters.
