Processing Stationary Acoustic Data in SonoBat
Select the appropriate software type below for detailed guidance on attributing metadata to recordings, scrubbing noise files, assigning automated species IDs to recordings, and exporting metadata in the NABat bulk upload template.
SonoBat Guidance for Stationary Point Surveys
NOTE: SonoBat 30 is now the only version of SonoBat receiving classifier and program updates and the only version to conform to NABat's current stationary and mobile acoustic metadata fields. Visit SonoBat 30 updates page https://sonobat.com/updates/ for information on the most current program build and classifier series, and instructions for updating a currently installed SonoBat 30 installation. Updates to SonoBat 4 are no longer supported by the software manufacturer, therefore, the guidance reflected here is final as of February 1, 2025 and may not reflect future changes to NABat acoustic metadata.
