The SonX Control System, SCS for our Sonar test, calibration and training product series Soncat, Sontas and STM have received a major upgrade including a number of new usefil features .
New in SCS: Hydrophone Monitor & Audio Output
We’ve added a real-time Hydrophone Monitor to SonX Control Station, giving sonar operators and test engineers powerful acoustic insight — right alongside their active session.
The Monitor combines a live spectrogram, an oscilloscope with ruler measurements, and configurable trigger capture in one integrated view. Hover the spectrogram to inspect frequency and level at any point in time. Select a region on the oscilloscope to instantly read peak levels, frequency components, broadband energy, and spectral characteristics — no separate tools or post-processing needed.
We’ve also added audio output, so you can listen to the hydrophone signal in real time — useful for quick assessments and operator training.
Whether you’re verifying transponder responses, checking signal characteristics during calibration, or training operators on acoustic signal recognition — the analysis happens in real time, where you need it.
SCS is delivered with all Scanmatic SonX systems. In particular, the Sontas Mk II cabled solution is a natural fit for these new monitoring capabilities — with its continuous high-bandwidth hydrophone link, operators get uninterrupted live spectrogram, oscilloscope, and audio right from the control station.
