Ocean Sonics

Fastwave is Australian, New Zealand and Indian Ocean Distributor for Ocean Sonics.

 

With growing interest in the health of the oceans, and in using the oceans to produce energy, the need to understand and measure human effects on the ocean is rising.

Measuring ocean sounds is becoming an important part of meeting new legislation introduced in Europe, North America and Australasia intended to protect the oceans as development rises.

icTalk High Frequency Smart Projector

 

Looking for a calibrated sound source?

The icTalk Smart Projector is an all-in-one projector that produces a complex range of tones and sweeps. It can be set up by an operator once, and used indefinitely after that, requiring only occasional charging of its battery.

This calibrated instrument outputs sounds over the 10 kHz to 200 kHz range, giving more than 3 octaves of flat response and low distortion. Peak output is 140 dB re.1uPa @1m.

The small hand-held device runs for days on its internal battery, or power it through its data cable. Users can create custom sounds with the combination of tones, sweeps & pauses available.

Applications:

• Underwater Acoustic System Quality Control
• A Source for Sound Channel Modelling
• Sea Mammal Sound Simulator
• Calibration, Tone or Sweep
• Beacon or Pinger

Product Software:

Users communicate with the icTalk Smart Projector through a PC program called Talk Assistant. This program provides an interface that lets users set up the operating mode, and create the output pattern that the instrument will project. Output patterns can be built using tones, sweeps, and rests in an event table containing up to 40 events. The output pattern can be configured to repeat continuously, or a set number of times per triggering event (start command or magnetic switch activation). The time between pattern repetitions is also configurable.

Lucy Software

 

Hydrophone Software for PC’s – View & Recognize Sounds

Looking for a way to visualize your acoustic data?

Lucy is a PC program that lets you view and interact with data collected by icListen Smart Hydrophones. Lucy displays real-time waterfall and time-series data. Lucy’s waterfall display lets you make accurate measurements from recorded or live data.

Benefits of the Lucy Software:

• Connects to all icListen Smart Hydrophone products and reconfigures the display to match the instruments features.
• You can control the data collection options on your icListen Smart Hydrophone
• Gather real-time acoustic data from icListen and view in a waterfall display.
• View waveform and waterfall at the same time.
• The colour waterfall display is flexible, making it easy to detect even small changes in measured sound, and make absolute measurements.
• View data more clearly by filtering data using Lucy’s noise cancelling tool.
• Examine data libraries using Replay tools. Users on-shore can view data using the same software. Let them change the noise cancellation properties, or, import data into a spreadsheet.

 Software Applications:

• Ocean Noise Measurement
• Underwater Machine Monitoring
• Oceanographic and Scientific Studies
• Pipeline Leak Detection
• Pile Driving
• Dredging
• Marine Mammal Monitoring
• Marine Renewable Energy
• Environmental Monitoring
