MS1000 Scanning Sonar
Single-beam sonars use a single transducer to transmit and receive acoustic energy signals, or "pings". There are two types of single-beam sonar, profiling and imaging. Imaging sonar is primarily used for visual interpretation and uses a fan-shaped acoustic beam to scan a specified area or target. Profiling sonar is primarily used for quantitative measurements where a narrow, conically shaped beam generates a single point for each ping. With single-beam scanning sonar, the smaller and narrower the horizontal beam, the better the resolution.
There are two versions of single-beam sonar heads: high-resolution and domed.
