IDX
The index files (.idx) are files automatically generated by the echo sounder to navigate through the.raw files.
BOT
Bottom files are automatically generated by the echo sounder, and each bottom file is paired with the *.idx and *.raw
files for the same raw data. The bottom files contain the depth for each ping as detected by the echo sounder.
