Set Status Flags

Within HIPS and SIPS data structure each sensor data value has a series of status flags. Each profile in depth and side scan formats, and each survey line also has status flags.

The status flag settings are determined during data cleaning and processing. They can be used to control which data is used in the generation of new surfaces, tiles, and selected soundings, etc.
