System details
01Easy to prepare for operation
One person can deploy the system in under 20 minutes
02Easy connection and integration
The system has its own autonomous power supply and connects to virtually any PC over USB. It is compatible with most heading and attitude systems available on the market. Connect it and start working with no additional setup!
Free software provides the basic functions for working with the system, as well as data output to advanced packages such as QINSy and HYPACK.
03How the Zima2 system is used
Zima2 is used for hydrographic surveys, search operations, underwater construction, diver training, and other underwater work that requires monitoring the position of a tool or a person underwater, including at depths of up to 1 kilometre.
- Locate beacons with the open host software or use the software you already know
- Save object tracks in Google KML format
- Connect a GNSS receiver and a compass to get absolute coordinates and record object tracks
- Send telecontrol commands to the beacons and receive telemetry data
