Observed / Processed

Fields display the sounding values when converted to HIPS format. If any processing (such as tide) is applied to the Observed data the new value will be displayed in the Processed fields.

Detected

The value designated by the acquisition system as being the sounding depth. If a Detected depth is selected, an asterisk is displayed beside the field.

Alternative

If the data includes an alternative depth value from the return, it will be displayed here.

If you select an alternative depth, an asterisk is displayed beside the field. (SeeSelecting Detected and Alternative Data.

Note: Not all Hawkeye data contain alternate depths that can be highlighted or swapped with the primary depths.

Confidence value

The confidence value for the sounding (SHOALS only).

Tide

Tide data for the sounding, if there is any such data in the file. (Not all formats contain tide data, in which case the field shows a value of zero.) If tide data is added, data must be merged before tide value can be displayed.

Note: Hawkeye data does not contain tide data.
