Tool to search & filter sound-profiles (Sonar-Profiles)
 
Ahoi,

ich habe mir ein kleines Tool geschrieben, mit dem man Sonar-Frequenzen (Sonar-Profiles) filtern und suchen kann. Vielleicht hat ja jemand Interesse dran...

P.S. Kann evtl. jemand diesen Text in english posten? Mein english ist dafür zu dürftig :o

Ha ha a chance to use my limited college German of 25+ years ago:

"I have written a small tool which looks up via sonar frequencies. If anyone is interested ... {link}. Can somone post this in English. My English is 'durftig'. (no idea what the means)"

I have SC and not DW, but nice of you to share. With SCX the DB is so big that checking through profiles can be a pain. :)

Nice Tool
 
Just tried it, nice tool.
Lets you search by country, class, specific frequencies, units, tpk, you name it.

By the way, what's the use of the "Tol." field?


Regards Shortie

I just tried it. Cool tool.

It seems you must have imported the DW database into the tool. Would be nice if it could be pointed to a database on the disk and work with SC and/or SC/SCXIIc. :)

XabbaRus 07-27-05 02:53 PM

Very cool

I am guessing you wrote all the sonar data in by hand.

Tough going or does it read the database if DW is installed?

anyway very helpful.

Now we need a graphical version.

Did you write it in C or VB? If you wrote it in VB could I have a look at the source code. As I was thinking that it would be easy to put in a display at the bottom with the sonar lines. Drawn in with code.

It would be nice if when you entered freq derived from the NB that they did not have to be exact numerical matches (but near matches with a tolerance). Since while you are analyzing the developing signature, the frequencies derived are not that precise.

MarkShot 07-27-05 03:08 PM

How about F1 - F5 entered as pairs: F2.low, F2.high as a range. Thus, 480, 520. If you wanted an exact match, then you could still just input two identical numbers.

Wow nice tool.

Only thing id like to see would be a reference of the Active sonar freqencies emited. So you can see whats pinging you.

However this is well usefull thanks :up:

Very nice. I'm guessing Tol. is tolerance. Looks like he was way ahead of you. Very smooth the adjustable tolerance. I'm thinking this is going to be better than the web based ship database I have been using.

Danke schön! :rock:

MarkShot 07-28-05 06:50 AM

Wunderbar!

Now, I wonder just how much I can use it with SC and SCX? (wish it could read the database directly)

:sunny: Very nice work - thank you.

What a first entrance on this stage. :cool:

Bellman 07-28-05 11:41 AM

The tolerance feature is very cool. :|\

All these iconised 'assists' round my window are faintly reminiscent of Harpoon. :know:

Just wish SA would provide some decent extra drawing/marking aids for the Nav map. :hmm:

Sound stupid I know, but how do you use this program, no readme there? :-?

Well depends on the info you have and what you are looking for.

First I filter if I need. You can look for a certain country. I've been leaving that blank. The next one I use often. Filter for Subs or Skimmers etc. Click set filter button.

Next if you are doing a DEMON or something you can filter by unit say if you have a visual or ESM ID, or by blades. Click find. Bingo you can see you TPK. not to mention the freqs you should be seeing. I don't use this a lot either.

The meat is the find sonar profile section. First clear the other areas, well maybe you will still filter by sub/surface but I doubt any others. Next figure out how many Hz of tolerance you want. Otherwise if you type 49 in the first box lets say you won't get any hits. It is very hard to get the freq right on so I usually set this between 3 and 8.

Okay next start entering the freqs you have. If it is a towed array contact you probably have the first 1 or 2. For a non-US sub 50 for the first and 125 for the second. Press find. Now the list will only show platforms with 50 and 125 Hz Tonals. So you see right off that you need the next freq that should be 320/340/360 to further classify. You also see that any of them you will see are either 7tpk or 10tpk. Not that you will ever get them on BB to use DEMON :know: :ping:

Very nice tool. Looks like VB uh?
I start to think about setting up a second PC hehe :up:
