Once the important header elements have been defined and the data section is parsed,
click on the

OK

button to return to the

XML Utilities

dialog.

Shown below are the results of the

Sound Velocity Format Parsing

dialog:

The sound velocity profile is graphed in the window to the right as a QC tool to verify the
results of the parsing dialog. It is important to review the range of values and axis labels
and compare them with expected results to make sure the correct

Field

and

Format

were

applied.

Note that the date and location were automatically
selected using the decoded header information. If there
was no header information in the raw data file the date
can be selected using the drop-down menu and the
location can be entered manually as shown right.

When finished be sure to select

Save As

to select a location and name for writing the

parsed information into an XML file. The resulting file will have a .svp_xml extension and
will be used in the BathyOne processing wizard to correct the data for changes in sound
velocity through the water column.
