Breath-taking 2D and 3D seabed images
Directly connected to sounder and positioning system, the
TIMEZERO PBG Module allows TIMEZERO to collect and record in real time depth
information transmitted, enabling you to create and update your own
bathymetric database with pinpoint accuracy. With a single click,
TZ PBG Module will activate to give you breathtaking real-time 2D
and 3D images of the seabed. It's as easy as that.
Quick Data Recording
The PBG Module allows creating a good survey in less time. The
3D database updates are available in real time, no need to wait or
to refresh the screen. The accuracy has also been improved, the
depth points are no longer recorded in a grid but at their real
location! Of course, all PBG data collected with MaxSea v12 can be
directly imported into the 3D Static database.
Advanced PBG Filters
TIMEZERO PBG module generates and updates the 3D database in
real-time, then it is very important to filter the data that will
be added to the database to avoid introducing values that may alter
the PBG database. TIMEZERO offers multiple advanced filters
allowing producing a cleanest 3D database:
- Tidal Height correction: to automatically correct the depth
offset related to the tidal height
- Quality Filter (Furuno): This filter allows TIMEZERO to
automatically reject depth data that is considered invalid by the
Furuno sounder
- Depth filter: allow you to define minimum and maximum
acceptable values
- Speed Filter: allows the temporary stop of the depth sounder
information recording when you exceed a specific speed
- Consistency with Previous Recorded Data : This filter makes a
comparison between the current depth value returned by the sounder
and the last recorded and correct depth value
- Consistency with 3D Database : This filter compares the depth
value sent by the sounder against the depth recorded in the 3D
database
- Fixed data rejection : To automatically reject succession of
fixed depth values generally due to a sounder problem or signal
loss
Note: As soon as depth value is rejected, a
message is displayed in the notification bar indicating the reason
for the rejection and the information is recorded in the alarm
log.
PBG Delete Tool
A ''Delete PBG'' tool allows you to remove bad depth point by
drawing a free selection area around the point(s) you want to
remove. Note that the Undo/Redo function allows you to undo any PBG
point you may have deleted accidentally.
Bottom Discrimination Display
When connected to a sounder which has a bottom discrimination
feature, the PBG Module allows TIMEZERO to register the seabed
information in addition to the depth. TIMEZERO can then display
Bottom Classification as well as bottom hardness using a color
scale on the chart.
Data rendering optimization
TIMEZERO provides 3 different 3D databases:
- The 3D data from the chart
- The 3D data from file import
- The 3D data from the PBG database
Each of these 3D databases can be activated or disabled
independently. When several are selected, TIMEZERO merges them in
real time on screen and automatically selecting the most accurate
data available in the area.
Data rendering optimization
settings
Various settings let you adjust the display depending on the
quality of data in the database:
- Terrain Shading
- The PBG Brush Mode Setting
- The PBG Brush Size Setting
This cutting-edge module allows to adjust the overall ''width'' of
PBG tracks, even when set to dynamic! Creating superior databases
in less time allows to fish better in known areas (closer to the
rocks) as well as discovering new fishing spots. It won't take long
for you to see just how beneficial it is and how quickly you will
recover your investment
