Sonar Log
Most of the routines of this program perform work on the data files you create from your own numbers. Program
routines and functions are controlled from the main window that displays the MENU at the top of the screen along with a
spreadsheet or chart that displays the waypoints in the file you have open. The MENU choices are diagrammed in the
table above.
The top row of the MENU table shows the menu headings and the following rows are the drop down choices.
In order to do anything useful with the program you must first open an existing data file, create a new one,
import one, or download one. When the program is started, it will attempt to open the last file you worked on. If
it cannot, it will have you find a file to open.
See chapter VI for the Menu Choices where you will find a description of how each menu choice works.
This is a great
reference to better understand the options like importing and exporting or uploading and downloading
.
2. The NOAA chart Menu
When you choose Display on NOAA Chart, you will get a new window with it's own menu bar. Many of the
operations here are identical or similar to the menu choices on the Main Menu. Both the main screen and the NOAA
screen can be active at the same time. However the program can get confused if you work on the simple chart and the
NOAA chart alternatively while both are open.
A selection of NOAA charts are shipped with the CD, but can also be downloaded free off the Internet from
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/bathymetry/maps/nos_intro.html.
The chart types that work with this program are known as BSB/KAP or NOS/GEO.
The NOAA chart display consists of the digitized chart and overlays added by this program. If the chart is scrolled, the
overlays can sometimes get smeared, so a Reset Chart menu item is available to clear up the chart. This reset function is
also useful if you add new waypoints to the file while the NOAA chart is being displayed.
