Introduction

Multibeam data are imported by the command Import Multibeam Sonar Data. As a part of the import the make and vendor of the multibeam echosounder is registered. Vital information like the mount parametres are read from the datafiles and will be saved in a Vessel configuration file in the project. Multibeam files with different installation parameters will have reference to different vessel configuration setup.
