Thepurpose of a tracking windo
17、w is to screen out erroneous readings caused by reflecting materials in the water (fish, debris,etc.).4 Units of measureThe units of measurement used in this International Standard are SI units and decibels.5 Principles of operation5.1 GeneralThe state-of-the-art of echo sounders is well advanced, a
18、nd sounders have been put into widespread use formany different applications. Consequently, a variety of specialized echo sounders have evolved to best meet thespecific requirements of the application. A digital echo sounder with an integrated analog chart generated by athermal or inkjet print head
19、is the most common echo sounder used for open-channel applications. Multiple-transducer systems are in common use by many professional surveyors and the use of single-transducer,multibeam-swath systems is expanding rapidly.BS ISO 4366:200725.2 Theory of operationThe echo sounder is an electroacousti
20、c instrument that determines the depth of water by measuring the timerequired for a burst of acoustic energy to travel from a transducer to the streambed and reflect back to thetransducer (Figure 1). The travel time of the reflected wave can be converted to distance by use of the followingequation:(
21、1)whereis the distance from the reference water surface to the streambed;is the average velocity of sound in the water column;is the travel time of the acoustic energy from the transducer to the bottom and back to thetransducer;is the system index constant;is the distance from the reference water su
22、rface to the transducer (draft).NOTE All distance units are consistent.The velocity of sound varies with the density and elastic properties of the water, which are primarily a functionof the water temperature and suspended or dissolved constituents (i.e. salinity). Large variations in temperatureand
23、/or salinity with depth are not uncommon. For practical depth measurement with an echo sounder, thevelocity of sound is usually determined by calibration (see 8.1), since measuring and correcting for the actualvariation at each depth interval is difficult.The travel time of the acoustic energy is re
24、corded either electronically by a digital echo sounder or graphicallyby an analog chart echo sounder. The shape, or sharpness, of the reflected acoustic energy pulse plays asignificant role in the accuracy of a depth measurement (Figure 1). The shape and magnitude of the reflectedenergy pulse is a f
25、unction of the acoustic attenuation, background noise and acoustic reflectivity characteristicsof the target.The system index constant ( ) contains all electrical and/or mechanical delays inherent in the measuringsystem, including return signal threshold detection variations. The system index consta
26、nt also contains anyconstant correction due to the change in the velocity of sound between the upper surface level and the averagevelocity used for the site. Therefore, the draft ( ), set during calibration, is not necessarily the actual draft of thetransducer that would be obtained by a physical me
27、asurement from the water surface to the transducer, but alsoincludes corrections for the system index constant determined during on-site calibration.5.3 System componentsThe echo sounder consists of two elements: the electronic assembly, which usually includes a display and/orrecording device, and t
28、he acoustic assembly commonly called the transducer. The electronic circuitry generateshigh frequency electrical energy and provides regulated bursts of this energy to the transducer. When a burst ofenergy is released, time is measured until the reflected energy is received, then Equation (1) is sol
29、ved and thedepth is displayed or recorded.The transducer is an electroacoustic assembly that acts as a two-way energy conversion device. Duringtransmission, it converts pulses of electrical energy into pulses of acoustic energy that travel through the waterto the bottom. During reception, it receive
30、s the reflected acoustic energy (echo) from the streambed andconverts it into electrical energy for processing by the electronic circuits.d =vt2+ k + drdvtkdrkdrBS ISO 4366:200735.4 Non-recording echo soundersThe most common type of non-recording echo sounder has a liquid crystal display (LCD) that
31、displays the depthnumerically. Many of these echo sounders also display the return echo graphically and are commonly used asfish finders by fishermen. The numerical depth determination requires the same processing as a digital echosounder (see 5.6). The non-recording echo sounders typically have wid
32、er beamwidth transducers and nocalibration adjustments, resulting in a lower accuracy than survey-grade digital echo sounders. Some of thenon-recording echo sounders digitally output the depth to an external device through a serial communicationsport.5.5 Analog recording echo soundersTraditionally,
33、analog recording echo sounders have used an electric timing motor to rotate a stylus at a constantspeed across heat-sensitive paper. When the stylus passes over the zero contact, it burns a mark on the paperand simultaneously triggers the release of acoustic energy. The stylus continues to move unti
34、l reflected acousticenergy is received at the transducer generating an electrical current that is applied to the stylus to cause it toburn a mark on the chart again. The stylus continues to rotate until it reaches the zero contact and the cycle isrepeated. As the stylus rotates, the chart is being m
35、oved by another motor and the resulting succession ofKey1 depthsounder transducer2draft3 signal4 time acoustic pulse is transmitted5 reduced energy6 acoustically reflective bottom7 time reflected pulse is received, 8timeFigure 1 Illustration of an acoustic depth measurement2(2v)(depth k dr)BS ISO 43
36、66:20074marks made by the stylus creates a time-time graph. The stylus speed is adjusted through calibration to equalthe speed at which the acoustic energy travels to the streambed and back, thus the distance between the zeromark and other marks on the chart are proportional to the distance between
37、the transducer and the streambed.The speed at which the chart moves is arbitrary so that the chart transit does not necessarily indicate thedistance the boat travelled.Modern analog recorders, which are often combined with a digital display and output (see 5.6), use a fixedthermal or inkjet printing
38、 head in place of the rotating stylus. This helps reduce the potential synchronizationerror and allows electronic filters and processing algorithms to be applied to the data to compensate for thevelocity of sound and allows electronic annotation of the chart. The mass, dimensions and power consumpti
39、onof the fixed-head recorders are less than the rotating stylus design.5.6 Digital echo sounders5.6.1 GeneralIn the digital echo sounder, acoustic pulses are released at set intervals. When an acoustic pulse is released, acounter is started and counts the output of an oscillator. When the reflected
40、acoustic energy is received, theoscillator counts are used to measure the elapsed time and the depth is computed using Equation (1). Theaccuracy of the depth measurement is highly dependent on the digitization techniques and filters that are usedto determine what oscillator count represents the stre
41、ambed.Digital echo sounders are the most common echo sounders available. They range from non-recording LCDunits to survey-grade echo sounders that usually combine an analog recorder with a numerical display anddigital output.5.6.2 Digitization techniquesTwo digitization techniques are commonly used
42、to screen erroneous data and improve the reliability of theacoustic data. The most common technique is threshold detection. Threshold detection measures the time fromtransmission of the acoustic signal until the energy of the reflected energy exceeds a predetermined thresholdor strength. The remaini
43、ng acoustic energy is not analysed. The threshold value may be adjusted by the user onadvanced echo sounders, but it is often fixed and not user selectable. A more robust technique, employed onsome survey-grade echo sounders, is peak value detection. Peak value detection analyses all of the reflecte
44、denergy and computes the time from acoustic release to the peak of the reflected energy or strongest signal.Figure 2 illustrates the difference between the two techniques on a sloping bed. The peak value detectiontechnique produces a measured depth more representative of the centre of the acoustic f
45、ootprint of thetransducer. The peak value technique can significantly reduce the effective beamwidth of the transducer,providing a more accurate representation of the streambed directly below the transducer.Any material such as fish, debris or air bubbles between the transducer and the streambed can
46、 reflect acousticenergy. Peak value detection is less sensitive to these unwanted reflections than threshold detection; however,nearly all survey-grade echo sounders employ techniques to reduce or eliminate erroneous readings caused byreflectors in the water column. A tracking window that rejects al
47、l signals except those within a given tolerance ofthe preceding depth is commonly provided. These reflections from objects in the water column are recorded onthe analog chart in addition to the bottom echo. The analog chart is very valuable for verifying the accuracy ofthe digitized depth. Despite t
48、he techniques employed in digital echo sounders, erroneous readings are stillcommon, particularly around obstructions such as bridge piers and sea walls. Depth measurement in suchareas without an analog presentation of the data is not recommended.BS ISO 4366:200755.6.3 Multiple-transducer systemsA v
49、ariety of multiple-transducer channel sweep systems have been used since the mid-1970s. These systemsare designed to provide a broad area of coverage, rather than a single line, for each pass of the vessel. Channelsweep systems are simply a series of standard transducers mounted on a vessel and/or on booms attached tothe vessel. Sweep systems may use any number of transducers. The spacing between the transducers isdetermined by the nominal water depth, transducer beamwidth, and desired overlap of the transducersac
