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.
The Vessel Configuration Manager is where the parameters for the multibeam survey lines can be verified. It is also possible to change the values from the survey to improve the processing result.
