Diagnostic Procedures for the Royal Australian Navy Side Scan Sonar Display

Abstract

The report describes bench testing and fault finding methodologies and instrumentation which are intended for use with the sonar data acquisition and display component of the Royal Australian Navy route surveillance system. The proposed techniques are to be used operationally at the organizational and intermediate levels. Test hardware is described which provides acceptable test signals for the evaluation and fault finding analysis of the Info Express Sonar Imaging and Data Acquisition (SIDA) system and, in part, the Klein 595 Side Scan Sonar units, including all associated A/D converters. This equipment has been used successfully in locating a previously unsuspected fault in one SIDA unit. A recommendation is made that standards be established against which the performance of the SIDA unit's digitisers can be assessed.
