Data is space delimited (NOT fixed width fields). Legend:

 EK 500
    Simrad Scientific Echo Sounder EK 500, 12 kHz, 38 kHz split beam and 120 kHz split beam.
    Data from the EK 500 is collected by the EIVA survey computer and inserted in its data messages.
 EIVA
    Eiva Navipac, navigation software.
    UTM sector from other records.
 Ashtech
