When working with a Sonardyne instrument there must be a way to identify it. This is where the acoustic address and UID come in.

Every Sonardyne Wideband instrument has a configurable acoustic address. This address is a 4-digit identifier for communication with that specific device.

Meanwhile, an instrument’s Unit ID or UID is a unique, non-configurable, permanently assigned 6-digit number.

The acoustic address and the UID are necessary for tasks such as programming, diagnostics and communication. They can be checked using NFC or the iWand.

Note that new instruments have their acoustic address printed on their label, but since this can easily be changed, it’s always best to check!
