Hypack Data Acquisition
Port 15000 is primarily used by Hypack Hydrographic Software’s data acquisition module to facilitate communication between hardware and software components involved in marine surveying and hydrographic data capture. It typically manages connections and data flow for devices performing tasks such as depth sounding, positioning, and mapping, playing a critical role in precise data gathering and control during hydrographic surveys..
Hypack’s Data Acquisition module uses port 15000 to coordinate real-time data collection from various marine instruments including GPS receivers, echo sounders, motion sensors, and side-scan sonars. This communication enables integration of positional and underwater mapping data necessary for accurate survey results.
The communication over this TCP port involves transmitting sensor outputs as well as command and control messages. The data flows from acquisition hardware back to the Hypack software suite where it is synchronized, logged, and processed to produce detailed hydrographic maps and navigation data.
Port 15000 acts as a dedicated channel ensuring reliable and timely delivery of survey data. Since it facilitates communication with multiple on-vessel devices, it is crucial for accurate real-time operation and is often configured to operate within internal, trusted networks on surveying vessels or research stations.
