Description

Can Repeat

Notes

--processing-buffer-time

B

If set, applies a buffer of extra data, specified in seconds, at the beginning and end of lines to avoid data loss. If not set or buffer size of 0 seconds is applied, data will be processed without the buffer.

The default value is 0.

Supported units: seconds

FALSE

--algorithm

Ray tracing algorithms are available through Teledyne CARIS or third party.

• CARIS: Caris - All algorithms directly implemented.

• KONGSBERG_LIBRARY: Kongsberg Library - Licensed algorithm coming from library provided by Kongsberg.

FALSE

This must be specified explicitly.

--svp-file

The path to the sound velocity file.

If not set, uses the SVP already loaded in the HIPS data for the track lines passed to the process.

FALSE

--profile-selection-method

Method for selection of which sound velocity profile to apply for each ping, when multiple profiles are available.

• PREVIOUS_IN_TIME: Previous in Time

• NEAREST_IN_TIME: Nearest in Time

• NEAREST_IN_DISTANCE: Nearest in Distance

• NEAREST_IN_DISTANCE_WITHIN: Nearest in Distance Within Time

• USE_LAST_METHOD: Use Last Method

The default value is PREVIOUS_IN_TIME.

FALSE

--heave-source

Type of heave to be applied during merge.

• HEAVE: Realtime - Original heave data will be used.

• DELAYED_HEAVE: Delayed - Delayed heave data will be used.

The defaults value is HEAVE.

FALSE

--smooth-sensor

If set, applies smoothing coefficients to the specified data.

• HEAVE: Heave - Smooths the heave data.

• PITCH: Pitch - Smooths the pitch data.

• ROLL: Roll - Smooths the roll data.

• DELTA_DRAFT: Delta draft - Smooths the delta draft/subsea depth data.

TRUE

Algorithm = CARIS Options

--ssp

If set, surface sound speed (SSP) is not used even when available.

FALSE

--svc-line

FALSE

Algorithm = KONGSBERG_LIBRARY Options

N/A

ProfileSelectionMethod = NEAREST_IN_DISTANCE_WITHIN Options

--nearest-distance-hours

A number specifying the number of hours for use with the nearest in distance within time profile selection method.

The default value is 1.

FALSE

SSP Options

--resteer-beam-angles

If set, performs an additional recomputation of the steered beam angles based on a new surface sound speed that will be interpolated from the sound velocity profile (compatible systems are listed in the online help). This is only available when the Surface Sound Speed is used.

The recorded SSP (known to be incorrect) along with the sound speed interpolated from SVP (assumed to be correct), will be used to compute new beam angle data. Ray-tracing will then proceed without insertion of the SSP into the SVP. Used only if SSP is applied. For compatible systems only.

FALSE
