Definition | A single-beam echosounder designed for underwater distance measurement applications. These include altimetry when mounted on an ROV or AUV, for bathymetry work when mounted on a USV, or as an obstacle avoidance sonar. It uses a piezoelectric transducer to send an ultrasonic acoustic pulse into the water, and then detects returning echoes. The Ping is able to determine the distance to the strongest echo, which is usually the ocean floor or a large object. It can also provide the full echo response (echo strength versus time). The Ping is housed in a hard-anodized aluminium enclosure. It has four threaded mounting holes and is supplied with a mounting bracket and hardware for specific use on the Blue Robotics BlueROV2 remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The Ping connects to the open source user interface Ping-Viewer for control and data display. The Ping uses a 115 kHz transducer frequency and has a measurement range of 0.5 to 30 metres. It has a beamwidth of 30 degrees and is depth-rated to 300 metres. It can operate in temperatures from 0 to 30 degC. | ||
