Transducer ID allows echosounders to query the connected transducer gathering important operating characteristics. With this
data, the echosounder and transducer function as a precisely-tuned system. A Transducer ID enabled sensor contains an
embedded microcontroller that communicates with the connected echosounder via a single conductor in the transducer cable.
The principal data transmitted is intended to identify the type and configuration of the transducer. Then the echosounder can
alter its parameters of operation to optimize performance and to protect the transducer from overdrive. The Transducer ID
feature also provides important information to installers and technicians such as serial number and housing style. Listed below is
a summary of the information that the Transducer ID feature can provide to future fishfinders.

Affordable Broadband Transducers are an enabling technology that
provides better fish detection today and will lead to dramatic advances in
echosounder performance in the future.
provides better fish detection today and will lead to dramatic advances in
echosounder performance in the future.
Broadband Transducers enhance fish detection and give better definition;
it is far easier to distinguish among individual fish and between fish and
the bottom.
it is far easier to distinguish among individual fish and between fish and
the bottom.
The superior results are achieved by using a new ceramic material.
It lets transducers operate over a range of frequencies while maintaining
sensitivity. These Broadband Transducers are, by definition, low-Q devices.
In other words, they exhibit very low ringing. There is little variation from
transducer to transducer. Additionally, Broadband Transducers are
relatively immune to the effects of aging, so their frequency range remains
stable over time.
