3. Correcting for Tides Tide Corrections: Using a Tide Correction File:
Make a Tide Correction file (*.TID) in the MANUAL TIDES program.
Enter the name of your file
RTK Tides:
No entry is needed.
Set up RTK Tide parameters in Advanced tab of Read Parameters window.
Manual tides entered during SURVEY:
Specify ‘Manual Entry in Survey’ as Tide Device in Selection tab of Read Parameters
Telemetry Tides:
Specify telemetry tide device as Tide Device in Selection tab of Read Parameters. 3

4. Correcting for Sound Velocity
Sound Velocity Corrections
Calibrated sounder with a bar check:
No correction file is needed.
Using a velocity probe:
Create a Sound Velocity Correction file (*.VEL) in the SOUND VELOCITY program.
Enter the name of your correction file.
Using fixed corrections at different depths:
Go to TOOLS – SOUND VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
Separate corrections can be computed for the high and low frequency depth values.
Use Depth 1 computes an SV correction for both frequencies, using just the high frequency.
Use Depth 2 computes an SV correction for both frequencies, using just the low frequency.
Use Both, computes separate SV corrections, using the depths of the high and low frequency. 4

5. Read Parameters: Selections Window

17. Other Useful Windows
Echogram Window: Used to display the acoustic data for each ping from network-capable echosounders. You’ll need a network echosounder!
Heave Window: Displays raw heave values. Examine each line for heave drift!
Tide and Draft Window: Shows tide corrections. Very useful for RTK tides! Allows you to cut out short periods where you have lost RTK fixed.

18. Editing Track Lines: SURVEY Window
You can delete ‘individual’ bad position points OR
‘Interpolate across’ user-defined blocks
Edit your all of your track lines, then review the profiles one-by-one.
Deleting interior positions results in no loss of depth data, as new positions are interpolated across the deleted track.
Deleting exterior positions results in the loss of depth data.
