Add a New Profile

New SVP profiles can be added to an existing file or when creating a new SVP file. All profiles must be time-stamped.

To add a profile to an existing file:

1. Open the SVP file.

2. Select the Add Profile command.

The Add SVP Profile dialog box is displayed.

3. Click the arrow buttons at the top of the calendar to select a month and year. (All profiles must be time stamped.)

4. Click on a date in the calendar to select the day for the profile.

The Julian Date field is updated to display the applicable Julian date.

5. Enter the new hour/minute values (use the 24-hour clock) by clicking each section in the Time box and typing new values.

6. Click in the Latitude coordinates field and type coordinates.

7. Click in the Longitude field and type coordinates.

8. Add text to the Comments field.

This will be displayed in the Comments box in the main interface when a profile is selected. As well, comments are added to the section headers in the SVP file.

9. Click Add to apply settings.

The profile will be added to the list in the Profiles table.

Add Speed and Depth data

To enter new depth/speed data for the profile:

10. Select the new profile so it is highlighted.

The Profile Data table and the graph will be empty.

11. Click the Add button below the Profile Data table to activate the values text box.

New speed and depth data must be entered together. Depth values must be grater than 0m. Speed values must be between 1400.0 and 2000.00. There are two options for entering data:

• separate the depth and speed values with a space, for example: 15 1200

• separate the data with a comma: 15,1200

12. Type new depth and speed values in the text box beside the Add button.

The depth/speed values will be added to the new profile, and displayed in the profile graph.

13. Repeat Steps until all profiles for the new SVP file are entered.
