Teledyne PSA-916: Programmable Sonar Altimeter
The Teledyne PSA-916 Programmable Sonar Altimeter is a low-cost, lightweight altimeter designed for a wide range of marine applications. It provides high-resolution altitude/range data via a direct serial interface. Currents and other forces can cause sediment to shift, changing the shape of the sea floor.
