Swath View

Use the browse button [...] to select an Offset Point as defined for this equipment in the Equipment Editor Part of the VOSS.net software package, in which all parameters, dimensions, layout, arms, heads and interfacing with other equipment can be defined, normally by the surveyor..
See page: Tracking Point

Enter a value if necessary.

Only has effect in Follow mode. The point on your equipment selected at Tracking Point will be kept in the middle and will also be used to decide when a new screen should be built up.

This value indicates how close your equipment can come to the edge of the viewing screen before it will be redrawn in the middle.

Option only available when 'Center on Tracking Point' above is Off.

Defines the number of decimals of the indicator sliders. Enter a different value if necessary.

Use the drop down menu to select on which side of the screen the colored Height Indicators should be shown.

Select which type of drawing file to use: 3D Model / CAD Computer Aided Design - used for the technical representation of the works and also for equipment drawings. Drawing / Hide.
Use Settings (spanner icon) to set how the equipment should be drawn in the screen:

The various settings are identical to the ones used in the 3D View.

A Progress Grid A type of DTM that is made manageable through sampling measured points into a regularly spaced raster, allowing fast and conditional access. Considered to be a secondary data set; since no original points are kept.., filled with data, is needed for this, so you can look ahead at the seabed.

This option is useful in areas with slopes, so you can adjust the settings of your multibeam echosounder beforehand.

If necessary, enter a distance in meters.

Actual Water Level from source defined in Height Control /Tide Control.

Sliders represent current elevations of Origin (white) / Head the tool with which Equipment performs operations, for example: drag head of a Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger, the bucket of an excavtor, a plough, Water Injection Dreger bar, etc. (yellow) / Waterline (blue) / Design level (green).

The opening angle of the multibeam echosounder can be visualized.

A series of swaths can be shown.

Use the browse button [...] to enter the Swath Settings:

The maximum 'Age' to be shown is 20 seconds.

A Design is the model or fixed level to which fill, excavation or dredging should take place.

If you don’t want to see the Survey layer and are only interested in the actual data, then the dotted line that represents this layer can be switched off.

If you don’t want to see the Dredge layer and are only interested in the actual data, then the dotted line that represents this layer can be switched off.

Structures A Structures file is a Shape which contains a number of Objects, Model-definitions and Status-definitions in side/back views are by default presented as profile line intersections. They can also be displayed as 3D models (when defined). The browse button [...] behind the option allows for setting a band width. Within this band the models are shown.

Lists shapes A geometric entity or a collection of such entities. Each entity is described by basic geometry such as a point, a line or an arc. Examples of shapes are: Route, Centerline, Waypoints, Fix Set, Dump Boxes, Progress Grid Model, Designs, etc. which can be (de-)activated. Remember that this changes nothing in the Operation Settings, it only turns visibility on or off.

Turning Follow off, you are able to track mouse clicks. See paragraph below.
The choice of the Tracking Point defines how the equipment is centered.
