SINGLE BEAM EDITING HYPACK 2013 1

Data Flow SBMAX Reads: Raw Data Files Old ALL Format Data Files HSX (Multibeam EC1 records) Applies (optionally): Tide Correction Files SV Correction Files Saves: ALL2 Format Data Files (Default) Old All Format Data Files Raw Data Files Optionally: *.TID SBMAX *.VEL Old ALL Format Files ALL2 Format Files Read a single file, selected files from a *.LOG, or the entire *.LOG file 2

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

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: No entry is needed. After editing your data, run the SOUNDING ADJUSTMENT program. 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

Read Parameters: Selections Window Select the equipment to be edited. Set ‘Tide’ to ‘Manual Entry in SURVEY’ To read Tide values that were manually entered during data collection. ‘Snap to Line’: Moves soundings so they fall on the planned line. Pretty, but….. Dangerous 5

Read Parameters: Offsets Window Changing offsets ONLY works when reading in RAW data files! Change the Latency value. Change the Position Offsets of a sensor. 6

Read Parameters: Survey Info Window Shows: Time and Date of the 1st data file. Entries from SURVEY’s Project Information window. Project Area Boat Surveyor Geodesy info from 1st data file. 7

Read Parameters: Presort Window Divides each survey line into ‘Blocks’. Blocks can be created by: Time (Seconds) Distance (ft or m) # of Depths Loads one depth from each block into the spreadsheet. Min, Max, 1st in Block, Average To thin your data, it is preferable to use one of the Sounding Selection routines AFTER you edit your data. Select ‘Yes, Except Events’ to protect the location of your event marks. Pat hates Presort….. 8

Read Parameters: GPS Pre-Filter Window Used to pre-filter positions and/or RTK Tides. If Quality of GPS position is less than specified: Position is not used (top section) RTK Tide is not computed for point (bottom section) When positions are deleted from interior of line, new positions are interpolated and not depths are lost. When positions are deleted from the ends of a line, depth data is lost. 9

Read Parameters: Advanced Window RTK Tides: Enable RTK Tides and Select a Method Average Tide (preferred) Averaging period = 5 wave periods (in secs.) Recalculate allows you to fix problems due to bad configurations. MRU Apply Heave: That’s why you bought it. Apply Pitch and Roll Corrections: Re-computes position of transducer using pitch and roll data. Remove Heave Drift: Tries to re-center the heave about the ‘0’. POSPac Adjustments & Post-Processed GPS Corrections Allows you to adjust positions with post-processed *.OUT and comma-separated-value files. 10

RTK Tides: Tide and Draft Window Read Parameters Window Set parameters in the Advanced Tab of the Read Parameters Tide and Draft Window Raw RTK Tides values: Color-coded by GPS Status Averaged RTK Tides (RED line on graph) Eliminate RTK Tide Spikes due to short- term lost of Fixed RTK in the Tides window. 11

Correction of Heave Drift Heave Drift NOT Removed Heave values can drift ‘off-center’ due to rapid accelerations or changes of direction. Heave Drift Removed 12

Read Parameters: Advanced Window: Steer Sounding Beam The position of the sounding is based upon the center of your transducer beam. ‘Steer Sounding Beam’ computes a new location for the center of your transducer beam, based on the pitch and roll values. D’ = cos(pitch)*cos(roll)*D. X’,Y’ X,Y 13

POSPac Adjustments AVI Allows the user to apply enhanced Post-Processed positions, heave, pitch, roll and Tide data from a POSPac (POS/MV) file. 14

SBMAX Layout SBMAX Control Window SBMAX Spreadsheet SBMAX Survey Window SBMAX Profile Window

Other Useful Windows Echogram Window: Used to display the acoustic data for each ping from network-capable echosounders. 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.

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. AVI Deleted Positions Deleted Positions No loss of depth data Loss of depth data at end of line 17
