SAM: Sediment Accumulation Monitor

This is a software program designed to simplify the processing and display of data relating to sediment accumulation surveys.

​

Tools for sediment analysis:

• Visualization Tools

  • Overlay data against image of survey area

  • Graph data for analyzing trends over time

• Min/Max sediment tracking

• Min/Max accumulation rate tracking

• Data tiling

• Averaging of data over entire data set or on a tiled basis

• Automatic data archiving

• Automatic alarm levels

​

Data is used by the SAM software to provide critical information to determine sediment levels, rate of increase, and historical data analysis over the area covered.

• User friendly interface

• Data modification protected by security password, but can be viewed without password.

• Hydrographic data file input

SSA: Shark Survey Assistant

Shark Survey Assistant is a bridging software, useful in a wide range of marine surveying applications. The SSA takes a GPS input and distributes that information to three separate ports can be connected to other surveying or navigation software.

​

More than just a serial splitter, the SSA can adjust the output GPS position for layback (entered manually or automatically) for more accurate towfish positioning. While conducting a survey, the SSA allows the user to log targets to a file for immediate reviewing once survey operations are complete.  The information in the target list represents the most accurate location of the target, accounting for both layback and offset.  When using the SSA, the layback can be manually entered by the user or can be set automatically by the input from a cable payout program.

​

After setup, the SSA can be reduced to a minimal view or hidden completely in the windows system tray.
