- View and inspect data
- Calibration
- Scrutinization
- Analysis
- Multiple frequency data
- Exporting data and further calculations

Due to its technical nature, the manual's topics only provide a general introduction/guide to the issues and types of data processing that you may need to consider for your data.
For a more solid scientific and theoretical foundation for your work, we advise that you seek further up-to-date information in the hydroacoustic literature or contact us about training.
