HYPACK 2012

Will act as a ‘Viewer’ when no dongle is present.User can display data from different projects.User can enable/disable different files.User cannot run any supporting program. Icons and menus will be disabled.

Rename a project• Open Project Manager• Click on the Project’s name• Select ‘Rename Project’• Enter a new name

Project folder is renamed. Project’s INI file is renamed. Project Manager list is

updated.

Now exports to KMZ for Google Earth

• KMZ contains zipped support files.• Previously exported to KML

KML files didn’t contain support files. If you e-mail someone a KML file, they

won’t be able to display the supporting TIF, DXF or XYZ data.

If you e-mail someone a KMZ file, they can see everything!

KTD Values can be displayed and plotted.

VDATUM info can be imported into KTD EDITOR for display!

UNIVERSAL IMPORT is dead and gone from HYPACK. (Good riddance.)

Each of the following editors now has an import parsing function.

• Border Editor• Line Editor• Target Editor• Manual Tides

Border Report• Displays Perimeter Distance and Area of BRD File• Right-click on BRD File in Project File Listing

Can display user-created symbols!• Create them in the S52 RASTER

SYMBOL EDITOR• Symbols are then available in the

DG2 EDITOR

Save Template Points to XYZ Format• Useful for importing planned line points into ADVANCED

CHANNEL DESIGN

Staggered Parallel Offsets

Start-Line Gate can be moved up/down line from 1st waypoint.• Positive/Negative offsets moves forward/backward along the line.

Create a new planned line on-the-fly in SURVEY’s Area Map window.

VDATUM routine for RTK TIDES can now determine a value if less than four nodes of a cell are populated.

• In early versions, if one of the corners of a VDATUM cell had no value (-999.00), SURVEY would not generate a VDATUM result.

• Now it can work with only one corner with a value!

You can show:• Individual sensor positions

(red)• Vessel reference point

(green)• Vessel tracking point (blue)

Check ‘Device Offsets’ in the Vessels window

Modify the ‘In Center’ Tracking Frame %

• 5 to 25%• Larger values

mean more frequent screen shifts.

Rig Move Driver• BARGE.DLL• Computes real time

distance and bearing for four points on your mobile to the ‘final’ targeted position.

Dynamic Draft Adjustment routine is now available in SBMAX

• Tools – Draft Adjustment menu item.

• Same as DRAFTTABLE.DLL set-up.

Pre-modeling rotations to get better detail on vertical faces

Before creating the TIN, your data is projected onto a 2D surface. This can create problems when you have vertical walls, as data points with vastly different z-values get projected near the same point.

By rotating the model before projecting it onto the 2D surface, you can get a better model in vertical areas.

Without 3D Adjustment With 3D Adjustment

In Modify – 3D TIN, rotate your tin so that all data points will project onto a 2D surface. Then re-generate the TIN

CLOUD incorporated into Stage 3

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MBMAX are distributed in HYPACK 2012

Read parameters, tide info and SV info are combined on a single ‘Settings’ page.

Offsets can be stored and quickly recalled.

Different settings can be applied to different files.

Stage 1 allows the user to review raw parameters:

• Tracklines• Speed over ground• Heave-pitch-roll• Tide (conventional, RTK,

true or averaged)

Stage 2 is the area-based (swath) editing.

• New and improved spike filter.

• Can display unlimited number of beams per ping.
