Overview

The 3D Productivity Station (3DPS) is a plug-and-play, top-end PC solution for use with the Echoscope^® real-time 3D volumetric sonar and CodaOctopus^® Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) topside software combination. The 3DPS is a custom designed 19-inch rack-mountable PC, with integrated power supplies for both the Echoscope and the F180^® Series of systems. It has very high specifications for both the processor and graphics card, which is important for integrating Echoscope data with ancillary sensors, and for rendering data on-screen.

By incorporating the power supplies for both the Echoscope sonar and F180 series of GPS aided attitude and positioning systems, the 3DPS provides a single connection point for these sensors, thus reducing subsystem power supplies and unnecessary cable runs.

While the 3DPS has been custom designed for use with the Echoscope and F180 series, alternative GPS or motion reference systems can be connected to the 3DPS via a number of separate USB, Ethernet, or RS232 connection points.

Supplied with pre-installed USE and Motion software and configured for use with the Echoscope and F180 series, the 3DPS is a robust and reliable online and post-processing 19-inch rack-mountable system.
