Echoview Software is thrilled to unveil the beta release of Echoview 15
Dynamic | Streamlined | Intuitive
Our committed team has been working hard to bring you another big release containing exciting new hydroacoustic data processing capabilities. Experience the latest update packed full of features to improve your Echoview experience.
Now is your time to explore and test these new tools in our beta release! We’d love to hear your feedback on usability and any bugs you may stumble upon – please share your thoughts via support@echoview.com. Remember to keep in mind that as a beta release, it’s intended for testing only. We advise against using it for critical data processing tasks due to the slight possibility of functionality or calculation errors.
The Echoview 15 beta release can be reviewed by anyone with licensed access to Echoview 14, and the official release will be available to users who have an active MATS plan. To check the status of your license, please reach out to info@echoview.com.
Read on for an overview of what you can look forward to in Echoview 15, and start testing these new features today!
Exports and analyses
- Exporter objects, where you can preconfigure and store custom exports. Available for:
- Fish track analyses
- Frequency distributions
- ICES acoustic trawl survey database analyses
- Single targets analyses
- Vegetation analyses
- Wideband frequency response analyses
- New school detection analysis variables that describe the shape of aggregations, which can be exported or used in region classification rules:
- Corrected elongation
- Fractal dimension
- Rectangularity
- Two unevenness equations
Dataflow, platforms, and variables
- Create new multiple-input virtual variables using pre-selected inputs, and easily reorder input operands
- Support for multiple platforms within an EV file, making it easy to compare data recorded from different vessels or other data collection platforms
- Dynamic naming, where elements of an object’s name can be filled based on almost any of its property values. Available for the following types of variables:
- Echograms
- Lines
- Exporters
- Surfaces
- Other time series measurements
Cruise tracks and other maps
- See the direction of travel in maps via a new cursor icon, making it easier to navigate (especially when zoomed in on overlapping tracks)
- Edit region and transect boundaries in cruise track views
- Customize the appearance of map data by configuring:
- Thickness for the lines representing:
- Cruise track path
- Coordinate system grid lines
- Colors for:
- Map cursor
- Good and uncertain segments of the track
- Good and bad fixes
- Coordinate system grid lines
- Map background
- Thickness for the lines representing:
Transects
- Convert regions to transects
- Apply transects to additional analysis exports:
- Wideband frequency response
- Submerged vegetation
Data and file formats
- Support for:
- Kongsberg Discovery MS70 data
- Additional data from navigation packets in WASSP nwsf files
- Automatic reading and use of device name, water level, depth, and transducer offsets for EK60 and EK80 data
- Transducer impedance measurements extracted from Kongsberg Discovery EK80 narrowband data files
Operators
- Helpful messaging when virtual variables are unable to be calculated
- Sector Select and Maximum Intensity – Matrix, both for use with MS70 data
- Extract Transmission Characteristic, to explore impedance measurements in EK80 narrowband data
- Extract Bottom Feature, to graph the characteristics of the first and second bottom echoes, including in real time
