This article describes a new echosounder model designed specifically for institutions responsible for the management of inland waterways, artificial and natural reservoirs, and marine coastal waters. The basic requirement related to the need of sounding shallow waters is measuring the smallest possible depths. Using separate transducers (sending and receiving) and attenuating them, and introducing a high dynamic range TVG circuit allowed the measurement of depths from 20cm at a maximum range of 100m. Water temperature is measured in order to include sound velocity corrections. The echosounder is manufactured using modern technology, with a PC 104 computer, robust FLASH memory emulating a hard disk, 8 inch color LCD panel, thermal printer with paper band for instant profile printouts, and a floppy disk drive for permanent storage. The echosounder interfaces to GPS.
