EdgeTech 4200 Side Scan System - Addition to EIVA Rental Pool
Published 21.10.2010
The EdgeTech 4200 Side Scan System can be configured for almost any survey application from shallow to deep water operations.
The 4200 utilizes EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum CHIRP technology to provide crisp, high resolution imagery.
One of the unique features of the 4200 is the optional Multi-Pulse (MP) technology which places two sound pulses in the water rather than one. This allows the 4200 to be towed at speeds of up to 10 knots while still maintaining 100% bottom coverage. In addition, the MP technology will provide twice the resolution when operating at normal tow speeds, thus allowing for better target detection and classification ability.
The system is available with a 100/400 kHz dual simultaneous frequency towfish, a stainless steel towfish for deeper water operation up to 2,000m and with pressure sensor and Magnetometer interface for 4200 towfish.

Triaxys Buoy System w/Currents - Addition to EIVA Rental Pool
Published 07.09.2010
The TRIAXYS Buoy System with Currents Buoy measures directional waves and 3D currents accurately and precisely. The wave sensor unit is comprised of three accelerometers, three rate gyros, a Fluxgate compass and the proprietary TRIAXYS Processor. Current data is obtained from a fully integrated current profiler; Teledyne RD Instruments ADCP which is a custom WH Monitor (DR) Direct Reading 600 kHz ADCP using Explorer 30 deg. transducer array and WorkHorse electronics.
The AXYS WatchMan DCP integrates sensor systems and provides onboard data processing, data logging, telemetry, and diagnostic/set-up routines. Full directional wave spectra are computed by the CHC maximum entropy method. The onboard computer uses an iterative algorithm based on Fast Fourier Transform analysis to solve the full non-linear equations of motion in six degrees of freedom, as measured by accelerometers and angular rate gyros.
The current profiler works equally well in typical ocean surface water and in the high sediment suspensions found near the coast or in rivers.
Telemetry options are: Module Iridium 12V Telemetry, Standard Version, Complete and Module Inmarsat D+ with Axys Service provider. All data is stored on the internal data logger, and wave and current profile data are displayed on AXYS WaveView software.

TRIAXYS with Currents Buoy now available with Teledyne RDI ADCP
Published 26.08.2010
AXYS Technologies, Inc. (AXYS) are pleased to announce that the TRIAXYS™ Directional Wave Buoy can now be ordered with a Monitor 600 KHz Teledyne RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). Teledyne RDI engineers are currently finalizing the unique ADCP design and expect to ship the first unit to AXYS in mid-September 2010. AXYS engineers will then perform integration and test activities to ensure compliance with all quality assurance requirements. This first integrated buoy will be delivered to EIVA in Denmark for use in the company's offshore and marine survey projects.
The advantage of using the TRIAXYS with Currents product is the systems' ability to provide extremely accurate, real-time waves and currents data in virtually any water depth, without the need for divers or cables. It can also be easily mobilized for utilization at a variety of deployment sites. Teledyne RDI's engineers have modified their proven off-the-shelf ADCP product by re-orienting their electronics package, allowing the ADCP to fit and operate within the TRIAXYS buoy hull. This joint product integration fills a niche that the two companies have recognized as a market need for some time, and are optimistic about the product's acceptance in the marine measurement marketplace.

ScanFish II Used by Oceanographer Bill Boicourt in Chesapeake Bay
Oceanographer Bill Boicourt uses the Scanfish II, an underwater flying wing, to document a new discovery in Chesapeake Bay: a Hydraulic Control Zone just north of the Rappahannock Shoals. Like a valve on a water faucet, the Hydraulic Control can regulate the flow of salty ocean water into the northern Bay. As the Scanfish glides up and down through the Bay, it can take tens of thousands of readings per hour, measuring salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen and plankton.

EIVA Releases NaviCat Software for Catenary Simulation
Published 07.05.2010
EIVA is pleased to announce the release of NaviCat software featuring catenary simulations related to anchor handling tug operations through integration with EIVA NaviPac including 3D visualization option. By utilizing predefined cable, MLB and anchor libraries NaviCat makes creation, modification and display of catenaries extremely easy and intuitive. Each library allows for maintenance and extension by the user. During catenary simulation cable types, MLB’s and anchors can be replaced / exchanged dynamically and the effect is displayed instantly to the user. Defined project files can be stored by the user for later re-use of specific set-ups.
Display of catenaries is supported by tools including a/o zooming, measurement, automatic arranging of catenary profiles, drag-and-drop and dock able windows. In NaviCat each catenary is illustrated as a profile along the catenary in a customizable 2D profile display. Visualization of catenaries in 3D is handled through integration of NaviPac 3D visualization module.
During catenary simulations a large number of parameters for the catenary can be displayed, such as TDP, tension and angle at fairlead, tension along catenary, total length, position of anchor and MLB’s, estimated anchor position, display tension alarms along the catenary and much more. NaviCat can operate in three modes, Manual, Calculation and Online mode. In Manual mode NaviCat is used as a planning tool where the impact of different set-ups is easily monitored and visualized. Calculation mode is used for estimation of anchor or TUG positions based on a specified tension or angle at the fairlead. In Online mode NaviCat integrates with NaviPac which provides positions and status information about the catenaries including 3D views.
For further information on the NaviCat software please contact:

New NaviModel DTM software from EIVA
Published 23.02.2010
EIVA is proud to announce the release of the new NaviModel software for ocean mapping, data analysis and interpretation. The software provides intuitive 3D visualization of infinite survey data sets by integration of multiple data formats and sources using user defined templates.
NaviModel includes features for data cleaning either manually or through use of advanced semi or fully automated tools as well as creation of own filters by use of plug-in function. Digital terrain models (DTM) are displayed in real-time fly-through fashion featuring different color modes and palettes in addition to adjustment of light source. Difference models and volume calculations are visualized by coloring the resulting DTM in difference modes.
Terrain manipulation is performed by leveling out depth differences between lines by skewing lines toward an average surface representation. Special pipe line modeling capabilities comprise pipe and flag editing in real-time 3D environment and support of export formats including SITRAS through user defined templates.
NaviModel further provides special facilities by which it is possible to match DTM, video and events and thus visualize run-line, ROV track, pipeline, flags, events and DTM all in the same 3D environment. Moreover NaviModel provides tools for automatic export of data in terms of shaded reliefs, soundings, contours, bathymetry, longitudinal and cross profiles, etc. as well as export directly to AutoCad supporting content in relevant layers.
