Abstract: The article presents the results of using the PyHum open source library for decoding and analyzing data received from Humminbird sonars. The structure of the code, functionality, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this library in comparison with proprietary software are considered. As a result of the work done, we came to the conclusion that the PyHum library is a convenient and functional tool for data analysis, while the proprietary software has limited functionality. PyHum is open source to extend the functionality of this library. In the near future, we plan to rewrite the code of this library in Python 3, since support for Python 2 is currently discontinued.
