Data storage
Overview
This chapter presents a brief description of the data storage
functionality.
Note that you can not perform all the operations described here
if your echo sounder does not have a keyboard.
Define storage parameters
It will often be beneficial to store some of the echo information
recorded during an operation. This allows you to change certain
parameter settings when operating in replay mode at a later
time.
Open the File menu, choose Store to open the Store dialogue
box.
Note that Store is not available when operating in Replay mode.
The Store dialogue box allows you to set various parameters
associated with data storage. You can define a specific directory,
and limit the file sizes.
Click Browse in the Survey box. Browse to the desired
directory for file storage, or enter the directory name directly
into the text box. If the directory does not exists it will be
created.
Click the Save Raw Data check box to save raw data. Define
maximum file sizes by entering the desired value in the Max
File Size box, and click OK to accept the settings.
When Save Raw Data is checked, the raw unprocessed
transceiver data containing amplitude and angle information for
the split beam transducers will be recorded.
Start and stop data storage
To start and stop data storing, use the Line field in the Status
bar. The Line field is marked LXXXX and shows the current
survey line number.
Position the cursor over the Line field in the Status bar and
click the left mouse button. Observe that the survey line number
increments, and that the line colour changes from black to red.
To stop data recording click the Line field again.
The red colour indicates that data recording is active. When the
recording stops, the colour is changed back to black. The file
names used for the stored data are determined by the survey line
number and the date and time when recording started. A new
file is created for each new survey line number.
