Preface
This book is intended for users who wish to use the BathyPro™ application
program from Triton Elics to process XTF data.
How this book is Organized
The BathyPro techniques for processing multibeam data differ from the
techniques for processing single-beam data. Accordingly, the major division of
the book is along the lines of multibeam and single-beam processing techniques.
Patch testing is an optional task and is only applicable to multibeam
echosounders.
This book has three major divisions - Part I: Multibeam Processing, comprised of
Chapters 2 through 4, which is the bulk of the book; Part II: Single-Beam
Processing, which has but a single chapter in it, Chapter 5; and Part III:
Calibration of a Multibeam Echosounder, where the Patch Test routine is
described.
Because the software explained in this book runs on Windows NT, Windows
2000, and Windows XP, you should know how to work in those environments so
you can find, run, and exit BathyPro.
We use these conventions in the book:
