Recorder and sensor data

Bring acoustic and environmental data into one project.

Analyze works from standard recording and export formats rather than locking a project to one equipment manufacturer. The exact import route depends on the WAV encoding, channel layout, calibration metadata and CTD export structure.

Important compatibility note

A product name is not a certification.

Devices below are included because they produce acoustic, directional or CTD data relevant to Analyze workflows. Compatibility must be confirmed from an actual exported file, channel definition and calibration record. A listing does not imply endorsement, partnership or testing of every firmware and configuration.

What to send

A small sample is enough to confirm the route.

One recording

A representative WAV file showing the real encoding and channel count.

Channel description

Which channels represent pressure, voltage, X/Y/Z direction or other sensors.

Calibration

Sensitivity curve, scalar sensitivity, recorder gain and units where applicable.

CTD export

A representative profile with column names, units and device export settings.

GPS sample

A track or fixed position with time zone and clock information.

Desired output

The SPL, DIFAR, mapping or propagation result the project must produce.
