General

Vertical Offset

Set a value for the static offset to be applied to the processed depths.

Default units are set as metres, but this can be changed by selecting another unit type from the drop-down list.

Heave Source

The type of heave to be applied. The default setting is Realtime.

Select Delayed from the Heave Source list to apply delayed heave values instead of realtime heave.

If you choose Delayed, and no delayed heave data is available, there will be a warning message in the Output window, and realtime heave data will be used instead.

Note: During Georeference Bathymetry, HIPS will apply the difference between delayed heave and realtime heave only if all of the following are true:

• Data has not undergone sound velocity correction, and;

• In the vessel file, the Heave sensor has Apply set to NO, and;

• In Georeference Bathymetry, Heave Source is set to Delayed, and;

• Both realtime heave values and delayed heave values exist for the line.

If data has already undergone sound velocity correction, no dynamic heave (realtime or delayed) will be applied.

Refraction Coefficients

Enable this option to apply refraction coefficients to the processed data.

Depth Corrections

Enable this option to apply all depth corrections that have been set in the Subset Editor Corrections mode for the trackline being processed. See Corrections Node for information on Subset Editor corrections.

Delta Draft/ Subsea Depth

Enable this option to apply delta draft and subsea depths to the processed data.

Smooth Sensor

Select smoothing coefficients to apply to the selected data.

Shift

Type

Apply beam shift to the processed depth solution from a beam look-up table.

The beam shift look-up table consists of two columns, one contains the beam number and the other the value of the shift. Only the beams listed in the table will be shifted. For example:

Beam number, Shift Value

1,2

2,2

3,2

22,3

75,1

The values can shift statically or by percentage of the water depth of the sounding being shifted.

• None: No beam shift will be applied

• Static: Static beam shifts will be applied - as a straight shift (positive down, depths get deeper)

• Relative: Relative beam shifts will be applied as a percentage of the depth being shifted.

The default value is None.

File

• Use Last Method (the method applied when this option was chosen when georeferencing).

The default value is Previous in Time

Nearest in Distance Hours

Specify the number of hours used with the Nearest in Distance Within Time profile selection method.

The default value is 1.

Use Surface Sound Speed

Enable the check box to insert SSP into the SVP used during sound velocity correction. When not available, SVP is used without any changes.

Steered Beam Angle Recomputation

Enable the check box to perform an additional computation of the steered beam angles based on a new surface sound speed that will be interpolated from the sound velocity profile.

This is only available when the Surface Sound Speed is applied.
