Tool

Use the HIPS and SIPS Conversion wizard to convert various types of survey data into HDCS-specific format.

Survey data in ASCII format can also be converted using the Generic Data Parser.

Data that is converted to HIPS format may be in varying stages of completion, depending on the data format options. Survey data may or may not have been corrected for factors such as heave/pitch/roll or sound velocity. Such correction can be applied during the Merge process and SVP Correction.

When entire project data has been converted, a Project/Vessel/Day/Line directory is created for the converted data. If there is already a Project folder that is identical to the Preprocess folder, then the line data in the existing folder is over-written with the new data.
