I just bought the Polaroid sonar unit and I need to test it.  I have
downloaded the sonar drivers and hookup instructions from the FTP site but
I need some help.  I want to write a small program that will take a sonar

programing experience so need some help in writing the program.  If anyone
can help I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

Keith
