Looking to create your own software? Software development kits are available for Genesis and Seanet Pro.
Please complete the form and someone from our support team will be in touch.
Genesis SDK
There are two main interfaces available within the SDK, GeminiComms and Svs5Seq:
GeminiComms gives detailed access to the sonar interface and the resulting data output.
Svs5Seq gives a simplified and easier interface to the Gemini sonars.
The Svs5Seq is a wrapper library on top of the GeminiComms library which provides a simple and basic interface for clients to implement. Svs5Seq is the recommended library to be used by all clients.
Available in 32 & 64-bit
Currently Supported Devices, Operating Systems and Architecture:
- All Gemini Imager models
- Windows
- Linux (Ubuntu) 22.04, 24.04
- Architecture:
- x86
- Arm-aarch64
- Raspberry Pi (32bit)
The Genesis SDK is currently only for the Gemini Imaging Sonars
SeaKing SDK
This is provided as a serial control protocol document. This makes it independent of operating system.
This does not work with Arcnet heads.
Currently Supported Devices:
- Micron/SeaPrince/SeaKing Sonar
- SeaKing Bathy
- Seaking Sub-Bottom Profiler
- Seaking Profiler
- Seaking Sidescan
FAQs
Is there a development kit for the MicronNav system?
Currently there is not a Software Development Kit for the MicronNav System in either the Genesis or Seanet SDK.
How is it best to approach the Seaking SDK? Settings and getting started?
Having the hardware is the ideal place to start. Without this you have to rely 100% on the documentation.
Without the hardware you will have to copy the data as it is in the documentation and work from there.
With the hardware I would recommend running the head in Seanet Pro and snooping both the Tx and Rx line to see the data being sent between the sonar and the computer. This will allow to see the hex data and which fields are changed when you change the settings in Seanet. This will help you to make sense of the headers and nomenclature.
I see the Genesis start-up screen then it does not seem to open.
If you have changed your monitor configuration or moved the Genesis application offscreen, Genesis will open up and you will find it difficult to access.
To fix this, you you need to delete the Genesis folder within the Windows AppData folder. This can be found at the location below:
C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Tritech
Where XXXXXXX is your local computer ID.
What software should I use with the Gemini 720is?
