The Topside Power/Data Multiplexer Interface is packaged in a IP66 splashproof enclosure and provides a 4Mb/s DSL connection for the Tow Fish, and a standard Ethernet connection for the data processor interface. The HMS-624 uses a flexible control interface connected via Ethernet that allows the user to set operating parameters such as CHIRP/CW modes, pulse length, range, and gain. The system is compatible with third-party Software packages such as OIC GeoDAS, Triton ISIS, and others.
