From survey planning to deliverables

Define the required deliverables before selecting a SonarWiz configuration: a sidescan mosaic, a target catalogue, interpreted sub-bottom profiles or bathymetric products may require different modules and processing steps. Confirm compatibility with the acquisition hardware and file formats used on the project. A practical workflow includes reviewing navigation, checking data quality, organising survey lines and recording processing decisions before export. Keeping the original recordings alongside the processed project supports later review and repeat surveys. Contact Kordil with the sonar model, example data formats and intended outputs to discuss the appropriate software configuration and training requirements.

Preparing a software enquiry

Before requesting a configuration, prepare a list of your sonar systems, recording formats and required outputs. Explain whether the work involves acquisition, processing or both, and whether existing projects must be reopened. These details help identify compatibility checks and avoid selecting software solely by a product name.
