The Single Beam Editor window is located (by default) below the Display window. The editor can be un-docked and moved to another location like other windows in HIPS.
The display and events options are controlled from the Single Beam Editor window.
The soundings are shown in the editor as dots connected by lines. You can set the horizontal scale to represent distance or time. Distances are derived from the navigation data. The first sounding with an associated position is considered the start of the line. All subsequent distances are computed from this point using sounding positions interpolated from navigation data.
When the horizontal scale is by time, the sounding time stamps are used.
You can move up or down the track line by clicking the scroll bar or turning the mouse wheel (if available).
Toolbar
The Single Beam toolbar is automatically displayed when the editor is opened. This toolbar is used for selecting primary or secondary data as Selected data (see Primary and Secondary Data). The toolbar can moved and docked in the interface like other toolbars.
