To get started, the raw sidescan data files
need to be imported into Perspective using
the

Some of the sonar manufacturers have their own converter so please contact us if you
have difficulty finding the converter you need.
Selecting the

A single file can be selected or multiple files for quickly importing multiple days of
recorded data.
