Heading

You choose a Heading setting depending on whether you wish
to use the Ship Gyro, the Sensor, or the CMG (course made
good) values from the XTF file.

• Ship Gyro: For most hull-mounted systems, the Ship

Gyro data is required.

• Sensor: This is appropriate for a towed system with a

heading sensor mounted in the fish.

• CMG: If neither the Ship Gyro nor Sensor option is

available, then choose CMG (Course made good).

• Filter Strength: This is a single digit in the range 1-9. The

higher the number the stronger the filtering (or
smoothing) of the heading data.

Speed Limits

BathyPro calculates a speed for each change in navigation
position. You choose Speed Limits that match the maximum
and minimum speed of the vessel during the acquisition of the
data. If the speed limits set in the Min and Max boxes are
exceeded, BathyPro ignores that navigation point. This will
help to eliminate any large speed changes due to glitches in
the navigation data.

• Min: minimum speed in knots

• Max: maximum speed in knots

Attitude Processing

Clicking the Settings button to this parameter leads to the Attitude
Correction Settings dialog box (Figure 27). Available parameters are Pitch,
Roll, and Heave.
