CARIS HPD : S-57 Composer : Overview
 

Overview

S‑57 Composer is used to create, update, and customize stand-alone S‑57 and S‑100 products for export to a platform-independent exchange set or a standalone file.

S-100 product functionality is available only through an add-on module that is dependant on the S-57 Composer module. In order to enable this module, the S-57 Composer module must also be enabled. Special licensing is required to enable this module. See Modules for further information.

S‑57 Composer includes production and quality control tools to ensure compliance with S‑57/S-58 or S-100 standards.

With S‑57 Composer, you can:

Query, view, and edit a product.

Create an S‑57 Edition 3.1 ENC data set or AML Edition 1.0, 2.1, or 3.0 data sets. This also includes Inland ENCs 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4.

Create, open and export S-100 products, if the S-100 module is licensed and enabled.

Build custom hydrographic charting products.

Create S‑57 and S-100 updates, re-issues, and new editions.

Create exchange sets.
