Chapter 3: Working with Bathymetry Editor
BathyPro comes with a stand-alone utility called Bathy Editor. Bathy Editor is one
of two such utilities that can be used to interactively clean multibeam data in an
XTF file. (The other utility is Attitude Editor, the subject of Chapter 2.)
Bathymetry Editor (BATHEDIT.EXE) is used to detect and suppress bad beams
in raw XTF data files. Bathymetry Editor will produce and output a new XTF file
with beams that you have flagged as BAD. These beams will be ignored when
producing a DDS_VIF file for display in DelphMap.
You can add as many XTF files as you wish with the ADD button. You must then
select an output directory name where the processed files will be stored. This
working directory
must not be the same as the directory containing the input file.
Bathymetry Editor will never overwrite existing XTF files.
Using Bathymetry Editor’s Two Dialog Boxes
Bathymetry Editor has two dialog boxes for you to interact with. You use the first
one, called the Bathymetry Editor dialog box, to set up your parameters. You
use the second one, called the Processing Bathy… dialog box, to do the
processing based on the parameters you specified in the first dialog box.
To run Bathymetry Editor
The program loads. Your display resembles Figure 5.
