The right-click dialog in the Vessel configurations part.
The Vessel configurations part shows the configurations for the actual project. If the project contains data from one multibram echosounder only, normally one configuration is necessary.
When clicking the name of a vessel configuration the corresponding Survey lines are shown below.
During the import of multibeam survey data, the configuration parameters from the echosounder is checked against existing vessel configurations. All parameters are checked, like the type of echo sounder, number of transmitters and receivers (single head, dual head), the mounting parameters for the echosounder and the motion sensor (offsets and rotations), content of datagrams (depth, range), etc. If any setting is different a new vessel configuration is created. This means that the operator can check the configurations to see if there are any changes during a survey.
By right clicking a vessel configuration a menu appears with this content:
- Edit: Open the Edit Vessel Configuration dialog.
- Rename: Change the name of the vessel configuration.
- Create copy in: Will create a copy of tha vessel configurations. If several projects are loaded it is possible to copy to another project.
- Delete: Remove the actual vessel configuration. It is not allowed to remove the configuration if it is used by any survey line.
The Create copy entry is useful if it is necessary to "play" with the configuration parameters to see differences or improvements in the survey data when changing the settings.
