Primary and Secondary Data

Dual frequency data can be imported through the Generic Data Parser, the Hypack converter and the Winfrog converter.

These frequencies (and the associated data) are designated as Primary or Secondary. By default, all Primary frequency data is designated as the Selected Frequency, and processed further in HIPS and other CARIS products.

Show/Hide data

1. Open Single Beam Editor.

2. Select or clear the following check boxes to show or hide data. When the box is checked, the sounding data associated with that frequency is visible in the editor.

• Primary

• Secondary

• Selected

The Single Beam Editor is refreshed to show the selected frequencies.

Select Primary/Secondary data

Although Primary data is automatically designated as the Selected frequency, you can set the Secondary depths as Selected, and toggle between Primary and Secondary to view data. (The two frequencies cannot be averaged.)

1. In the General tab, select the Primary and Secondary check boxes so that all the frequency data is visible in the editor.

2. In the editor window, press and hold the mouse button and drag the cursor to highlight both the Primary and Secondary data.

The Select Primary and Select Secondary buttons are activated.

3. Select a Primary or Secondary command.

The highlighted Primary or Secondary data is now marked as Selected.

To see which frequency has been set as Selected, toggle the check boxes in the Data section of the General tab on and off.
