New Software now available for Fishers
Magnetometers and Metal Detectors
Screen shot of new Tracker 3 software for Fishers Proton 3 and 4 magnetometers and Pulse 10 and 12 boat-towed metal detectors.
Upper left part of the screen shows the track of the boat as it moves over the search area. Upper right shows the detector's readouts along with the position coordinates of each readout. The highlighted portion represents a "hit". Bottom of the screen is a strip chart representation of the detector's readouts with the spikes and dips representing the hits.
A new software package, Tracker 3, is now available for your JW Fishers Proton 3 or 4 magnetometer, or Pulse 10 or 12 boat-towed metal detector. A technical data sheet is available for the new software describing all of the features and capabilities of this powerful option for your Fisher search system. You can download the data sheet at http://www.jwfishers.com/datasheets/Tracker%20Software%20for%20P3%20&%204.pdf (http://www.jwfishers.com/datasheets/Tracker%20Software%20for%20P3%20&%204.pdf) or send email request for a PDF of the data sheet to info@jwfishers.com.
If you originally purchased software with your magnetometer or metal detector, the new version upgrade is available at $195. If you do not already have the software, it is available for purchase at a cost of $995. The control unit for your magnetometer or metal detector must have the RS232 output to use the software with your system.
The Tracker 3 software is available on CD or by download. For more information or to purchase your Tracker 3 software package today call 800-822-4744 or email info@jwfishers.com.
** JW Fishers Proton 4 Magnetometer
------------------------------------------------------------
The PROTON 4 is the fourth generation magnetometer from JW Fishers. The Proton mag is the "work horse" of the commercial salvage industry and the preferred choice of many professional wreck hunters. It can locate a variety of iron and steel targets including sunken vessels, anchors, chains, cannons, moorings, pipelines, submerged vehicles, and lost equipment.
The PROTON 4 is a top performing microprocessor driven marine magnetometer detection system with one gamma sensitivity. It features a triaxial noise-cancelling sensor that allows omnidirectional towing without heading error or dead zone. The system is fully digitized and displays it’s output on an easy to read 5 digit LCD that is backlit for night operations. An alarm informs the operator when the readout changes, and Tracker software allows the operator to see the path of the boat as it moves over the search area, ensuring no piece is missed. The magnetometer readouts and position coordinates are displayed in an easy to read format on the computer, and all the data can be saved for future reference. The towfish has excellent hydrodynamic characteristics, moving smoothly through the water at tow speeds up to 10 knots.
** JW Fishers Pulse 10 and Pulse 12 boat-towed metal detectors
------------------------------------------------------------
The Pulse 10 and Pulse 12 are the ideal detectors to locate any ferrous or nonferrous metal target. They can locate gold and silver bars, bronze cannons, aluminum boats, propellors, anchors, pipelines, and a variety of other targets. The Pulse Induction technology means these detectors ignore the background mineralization such as salt water, coral, black sand, and high iron rocks while detecting all metal targets. The Pulse 12 is the more powerful model with twice the detection range of the Pulse 10. The Pulse 12 can also tow 3 search coils simultaneously with all readouts being displayed on one topside control unit. All readout data and position coordinates can be displayed and stored on a computer for future reference.
