Exercise-based tutorials

Explore our range of exercise-based tutorials to help get you started with Echoview. Each tutorial covers a specific component of Echoview functionality with a series of easy-to-follow exercises.

For further information or assistance, please read our data-processing overview, consult the Help file or contact our support team. Please note that we also provide high-quality training courses that can be tailored to your specific data-processing needs.

These tutorials are designed to be used with Echoview version 4.80. For older versions of tutorial files, please contact us.

Tutorial	Description	Posted	Size
Data files	Data files required for a number of the tutorials below	13th Oct 2009	2MB
Getting started with Echoview	Covers key concepts and navigation techniques when using Echoview. First-time Echoview users should aim to complete this tutorial first.	13th Oct 2009	1.7MB
Introduction to integration	Covers both the on-scree generation and export of echo-integration results. Echo integration is a key concept in the conversion of hydroacoustic backscatter to biomass. Many of the concepts and techniques covered in this tutorial apply to the variety of other analyses you can perform in Echoview.	13th Oct 2009	1.8MB
Introduction to live viewing	Covers the basics of live viewing. Live viewing provides the ability to to view and process your data as it is being collected. This is particularly useful during adaptive surveys, where the findings are used to guide the survey in real time.	13th Oct 2009	0.5MB
Introduction to fish tracking	Covers the basics of detecting single fish targets and analyzing their tracks through space and time. This is a popular approach in river studies but can be applied equally well in lakes and marine environments.	13th Oct 2009	3.1MB
Multibeam introduction, navigation and operators*	A series of exercises to show how multibeam data can be displayed and analyzed in Echoview. The download file also contains example data.	19th Feb 2010	2.9MB
Introduction to DIDSON data processing	Covers the basics of DIDSON data processing. The DIDSON (Dual-frequency IDentification SONar) is an imaging sonar, or "acoustic camera", that is used as a surrogate for optical systems in turbid water. The download file also contains example data.	13th Oct 2009	18.7MB
Routine DIDSON data processing	Provides an overview of a method for the routine processing of DIDSON data.	13th Oct 2009	5.7MB
3D visualization*	A series of exercise to show how to create a scene, create and import 3D objects and navigate in Echoview's 3D environment. The download file also contains example data.	19th Feb 2010	41.5MB

* Please note that these materials are reproduced from our old training courses while we develop additional materials in line with the other tutorials available here. Where "Processing Data topics" are referred to in these exercises, please see the "Getting started with Echoview" and "Introduction to integration" tutorials above, and the Echoview Technical Manual.
