 Line: If there was a header, the box next to ‘Line’ is for entering the number of
lines to skip for the header, before the data begins.
 Delimiters: This is where the data delimiters are defined. In the example above
the data is separated by spaces and therefore the ‘Space’ box is checked.
 Parsed Field: Displays data elements available for mapping to predefined field
types.
 Field: Predefined field types to assign data to.
 Format: Set the units or format of the data value assigned to this field.
 Attribute: Can attribute the defined field as a header or as a data value.
 Update: The user must select this after the parsed field has been applied to a field
and the format has been selected to complete the decoding process for that data
type.
 Decoded Data Element: Displays the results of data to field mapping.
 Decoded Header Element: Displays the results of header to field mapping
For this example, the first data column is for Easting, the second is for Northing, and the
third is for depth. The parsing window shown on the previous page was captured after
the data had been mapped to the appropriate fields with the decoded data elements
indicating which Field and Format was applied to each element.
Select ‘OK’ when finished. This will launch the BathyOne Wizard to create a bathymetry
layer.
ASCII Singlebeam File: This will import singlebeam data from an XYZ or TXT file.
Selecting this option will launch the Singlebeam ASCII Parsing window (identical to the
XYZ Grid Parsing window).
Bathy DTM File: Selecting this option will allow users to import DTM files previously
generated in Perspective.
GSF File: This option allows users to import GSF files into Perspective. Selecting GSF File
import will automatically launch the BathyOne Wizard to create a bathymetry layer.
2.2 Database Refresh
An alternative method for importing mosaic and DTM files created from Perspective is to use
the Database Refresh toolbar button shown below:
