ES II Sonar Recorder
The Video Recording System (VRS) is designed as the core media management system for viewing and recording sonar for CodaOctopus. It is based on PC-104 components , and also controls the inputs and outputs coming from the sonar head, such as navigation, attitude, and serial commands ,in addition to the Echoscope II sonar data.
The media for this data recorder was designed with a custom mechanical carrier so the drive can easily be removed and replaced with a fresh drive, or a drive with previously recorded data, and to also facilitate upgrades to utilize alternative COTS drives.
