HTI’s AcousticTag Software is configured to fit your projects’ objectives. During data collection, it communicates with your Model 290-series Acoustic Tag Receiver(ATR), which can receive tag data from up to 16 separate hydrophones. The received signals are synchronized in order to recover time of arrival for each detected pulse (see conceptual ping illustration). The arrival times of the transmitted signal pulses are used to calculate the 3D location of the acoustic tag passing through the hydrophone array. Other configurations may allow post-processing to be conducted for up to 30 hydrophones in an array.
