ABOUT
The EK80 Adaptive Logger (EAL) is an external application that interfaces with EK80 software to optimize sampling parameters while optionally avoiding aliased seabed echoes (i.e., false bottoms). This is performed by modulating the echogram display ranges and transceiver recording ranges based on the seabed depth. For example, when moving from deep to shallow water, the display and logging ranges are reduced, which accordingly allows for a faster ping rate. Moreover, if desired, the ping rate can be further adjusted to avoid receiving false bottom echoes.
INSTALLATION
The latest version of the EAL can be downloaded here: EAL_20210320
To run the EAL, the operating PC must have Matlab Runtime V9.11 (R2021b) installed.
After installing Matlab Runtime, the EAL executable can be run.
