usr and TM150M

[fjordfischer]

I was in norway and used my Airmar TM150M (105 kHz).
I had no problems with finding bottom as with the normal 200/83 khz transducer.
The sl2 logfiles are usable in RM.
But if i try to export an usr-file, they not contain depth values for a depth chart. Is this an Airmar TM150M specific problem or what is the limitation?

Fjordfischer, what exactly  are you exporting to USR? Which version ? V4  or V5 ?

[fjordfischer]

Tracks (with working Airmar) and waypoints in usr v2 ... v5 & gpx. RM only can read v2 and 3. But i think, also in v4 and v5 are no depth informations. What a program do you use for v4 & v5?
Do You can use trackpoints with depth from the Airmar transducer?

Fjordfischer,

Did you check if recent  USR tracks, when using the standard HST-WSBL transducer, do contain depth information?
But be sure to check 'recent' USR files.

[fjordfischer]

No i don't use the HST-WSBL transducer, but i know - there is not a problem with depth values in the usr-file (e. g. v3) with the HST-WSBL,  transducer, unless Lowrance has changed this option with one of the next firmware updates (Gen3).
But can you check your Airmar tracks as crosscheck?

Depth values are only in usr V4 (and v5), as far as I know.

V4 could be opened and transferred with DrDepth and maybe with GPS Babel.

[DannyGeysen]

It is difficult to find out which transducer was used in which track, as I constantly switch between the Airmar TM150 and HST-WSBL. Besides of this,  more than one transducer can be used in 1 single track.

Thanks Hubert. Yes i forgot DrDepth as possibility for usr v4. But i can't find depth values.
Danny - if You have a chance - please try it self. Thanks

Just had a look at an Gen3, Export options do say, that USR V3 also contain depth values.

HDS Gen3 with a HST WSBL 83/200:
Export as a Lowrance USR V4, imported with DrDepth and Export as CSV

Little part, depth values are in third row.
