3.3 Review Data

At this point all data files needed for processing in Perspective should now be ready for
use. This includes the following:



raw Sonar data



downloaded SVP data

converted to XML



downloaded Tide Gauge data

converted to XML



Now that the data files are prepared, the next step is to import the bathymetry data files
into Perspective.
