In addition to post-process hydrographic 3rd party software such as CARIS HIPS and SIPS, users may find the manufacturers' software useful as well. Here is the normal software from Imagenex for processing and viewing DeltaT bathymetric multibeam data: DeltaT.exe, DeltaT Supporting Documents.pdf, DeltaT.INI. Please note that this software is provided without warranty; it could easily be out of date (check the manufacturer's website: https://imagenex.com/interior-page/software-download). Please contact us for assistance as needed. For the rotating DeltaT multibeam sonars (devices 22100 and 23122), otherwise known as the 'Bubble Sonar', we have a special version of the software: DeltaT_600_to_700kHz.exe. Again, this software is provided with warranty and is specific to the rotating sonars (it won't work properly with the bathymetric DeltaT sonars).
Refer to the manufacturer user manuals for more information. For instance, the documentation for the stationary profiling DeltaT at Barkley Canyon POD 4 (device 11104) is here: https://imagenex.com/assets/images/downloads/837B_Delta_T_120_kHz_Profiling_Specs_rev5.pdf.

This is a processed binary format produced by processing by Imagenex software, primarily from DeltaT multibeam sonars onboard ship for hydrographic survery. In the future, .83p files may be available for the 'Bubble Sonars', for now, contact us if you're interested in this data.

- A new .81a file is started for cabled Imagenex rotary sonars at the beginning of each day
- Daily and hourly files are available. Scans are started on each hour and last approximately 6 minutes, so each hourly .81a file contains one scan.
