Expanded licensing
Introducing new options for license activation and management. Echoexplore 4 includes support for software licenses, with more license types available soon.

Echoview 4 is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems.
Echoexplore licensing
An Echoexplore license allows you to catalog and view an unlimited number of data files, and to browse files located on network drives. Without a license, Echoexplore will list a maximum of 2000 data files, and display data files that are found on your local computer.
Echoview: Survey Suite
Explore | Review | Manage
Echoview® is our flagship software, providing a reliable and flexible platform for analyzing data collected from various single-beam and multibeam echosounders.
One of Echoview’s licensing options is Survey Suite, designed to support the collection, visualization and cataloging of echosounder and sonar data, whether in the field or in the office. Survey Suite provides an efficient, cost effective, flexible, and reliable solution for those working with hydroacoustic data in diverse research and survey settings. Some of the key features of Survey Suite include:
- Read data and display echograms from supported systems.
- Save echograms as image files.
- Annotate echograms using regions, and export annotation logs.
- Display and explore echograms, cruise tracks and 3D curtains in realtime from selected Simrad, BioSonics, Sound Metrics and Kongsberg echosounders and sonars.
Suite Survey also includes a license for Echoexplore!
Key recent updates to Survey Suite: Echolog
Alongside the new features available in Echoexplore 4, we’re recently released new capabilities in Echolog that are relevant to Survey Suite license holders. Echolog broadcasts raw data to enable live viewing in Echoview. The latest range of updates include:
Subscription to Simrad EK80 software
Echolog can now subscribe directly to Simrad’s EK80 REST API, enabling it to receive data from a server via HTTP commands. Echolog's data subscription option provides the ability to modify the resolution of EK80 data being viewed in real time, without changing the resolution of the raw data that’s being recorded. For high-resolution EK80 data, this gives the ability to balance the resolution of sample data with performance when live viewing data in Echoview.
To use this option, select the subscription option for the data file format and link to a pre-defined configuration file in the Echolog settings dialog, shown below.
