Using Delph Nav

CHAPTER 1: Using DelphNav™ (Survey Control Panel) 2004.06.28

The data are recorded in an XTF file separate from the sonar XTF file. The location of this
navigation XTF file is the directory under which the DelphNav project has been saved, or
by default in:

C:\Documents and Settings\

USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp

(in the case of a New Project). The naming convention for these files is:

ProjectName_LineName_YYMMDD_HHMMSS.XTF
(that is, PortlandProject_L1_001204_092958.XTF)

As mentioned above, two modes exist for data recording: manual or automatic. In manual
mode, the operator selects the line to be navigated and then selects the Start Recording
button upon approach to the SOL (Figure 25). The vessel track color should change from
red to blue.
