Awesome, glad to hear they make it easy to get the data!

I am also working on a system which will use combine sonar data
with positioning data.  However, I am not finding it so easy to
get the data specs from lower end sonar companies (I suspect they
make money on selling displays and don't want to loose control
there).

Currently I am trying to decide if I should reverse engineer
the PC-View interphase parallel port protocol, or replace their
8-bit internal processor with a itx motherboard and do most of
the processing in the box...

I really want a BlueView style sonar, but I don't want to buy an
expensive sonar until I have my sub operational.

Are you writing your own software?  What OS will your on board
system run?

Cheers!
  Ian.

>Both units use a very simple serial port interface into a laptop and a very small program to run it I am also working on a computer that when finished will be 2 inches by 4 inches by 4 inches with a 13" screen to run them in the sub and the keyboard will be an IPhone it will also have a digital direction tilt and yaw sensor in it, I got the Idea from edgetech side scan sonar we had our's factory serviced and they replaced all the components which still worked just not able to run the new version of software so I started playing around built a case and installed the compass in the same case it runs on 12 volts uses a 500gig laptop drive I will have about 200 dollars in it less the Iphone, so to answer your question it's very easy to use the data
