Streamline Surveys with SonarWiz
SonarWiz by Chesapeake Technology streamlines the survey process and simplifies the number of software programs you need to learn. It operates with almost all sonar manufacturers, so you won't need to re-familiarize yourself with different software. SonarWiz interfaces with nearly all brands of commercially available sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profilers, magnetometers, echo sounders and bathymetric interferometers. Perpetual electronic licenses or hard dongles include one year of support. We rent and lease-to-own on a weekly and monthly basis.
- New vertical exaggeration controls in SBP digitizer maintain scale from file to file
- New catalog of published datum transformations between coordinate systems
- Bathy processing merge is faster with new Octree algorithm
- New unified record button makes it easier to start/stop logging
- Fixed drawing of map view of sidescan data in draft mode
- New thickness feature sampling options provide more control for thickness export
- Save and transfer bathymetry error model settings between projects - no need to re-enter values
- Added support for latest-generation Klein MA-X 600 hardware
- Added Support for EdgeTech eBOSS 3D sub-bottom
- Added support for WASSP F3 MBES files
Real time tools allow for data analysis and survey monitoring with interfaces to most manufacturers. Processing tools allow for creation of mosaics and many options for data enhancements. Target and coverage reports, and many export options provide the tools needed for final product creation.

SonarWiz Processes EdgeTech eBOSS
SonarWiz now imports and processes EdgeTech eBOSS ("Buried Object Sonar Systems") 3D SAS sub-bottom profiler. Intended for UXO, pipeline and cable survey applications. Read more...
EdgeTech, the leader in high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, has recently introduced motion tolerant mode (MT) to their sonar platforms. SonarWiz now supports this as shown below. "The 4205 motion tolerant configuration with multi-pulse provides surveyors the ability to operate either at faster survey speeds or in more adverse weather conditions while still obtaining high quality underwater imagery."
