begun or the file name changes. However, when the Klein 5000 server is
running, all sonar settings that controls the Klein 5000 sonar are also noted in the
file. A sample of part of the contents of a SURVEY.LOG file is shown in
Figure 2-4.

It is potentially dangerous for you to open the survey.log file, modify it,
and save it back to disk while Isis is running — Isis may be modifying
the file at the same time you are trying to edit it or save it!






Instead of modifying survey.log while Isis is running, consider these alternatives:

• If storing to an XTF file, click the NOTE: button in the Parameter

Display window. If you click the NOTE: the contents of the Notes
text are saved into the XTF file, are posted to the SURVEY.LOG
file, and printed (if hardcopy is turned on).

• Use Notepad to open a different ASCII file. The file should be

named something other than D:\SURVEY.LOG.
