Background Information
Sounding Grid Use
A Sounding Filigree is used to:
- Simultaneously store and visualize data of dissimilar kinds, including data attributes such every bit 95% confidence level, min/max values, etc..
- Compute and display surface differences, e.1000. real-fourth dimension dredged depth versus design depth.
- Summate volumes, prove statistics, create contours and spot soundings for ENC's, DXF's and PRO's.
The filigree is generated on-the-fly and has no purlieus. It comprises ii types of layers:
- User divers layers employed to store and visualize data of different kinds, e.1000. design layer, in-survey layer, mixture density, mixture velocity, etc. as indicated in the image below.
- Regular multi-level grids. Based on the user defined minimum cell size, v boosted grids are automatically generated on-the-fly. So for example, if the minimum prison cell size is chosen to be 1m 10 1m, the following filigree levels are generated: 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16 and 64x64 as an overview level. This machinery is used when scaling the navigation display, in generating contours and in data consign.
Creating a New Sounding Filigree - Program Functionality
The new application was included in the Autumn 2015 release of QINSy and is used by default when creating a sounding grid from the Session Setup Storage option in the Controller.
The program's functions are:
- Create a new sounding filigree file
- Change the grid settings of a new sounding grid file
- Add layers to a new sounding grid file
- Modify layer settings of new layers
- Add together layers to an existing sounding grid file
Online the following dredging related data can be stored to the sounding grid:
- Bathymetry
- Dredge Head Tiptop
- Current Product
- Mixture Density
- Mixture Velocity
The former application is notwithstanding bachelor and is used by default when creating a new grid in the Processing Manager, and when using the stand-alone program, i.e. \Program Files (x86)\QPS\QINSy 8.1\SoundingGridUtility.exe.
Making a new Sounding Filigree
There are 2 primary places for creating a new sounding grid:
- Controller - Settings - Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Grid: This is the all-time option for dredging. It uses the newer Creating a New Sounding Grid program. At startup a number of predefined layers are bachelor for activation.
- Processing Managing director - File - New - Sounding Grid: This option uses the previous sounding filigree program. At startup merely one layer is predefined. You lot have to add together any others you desire.
Sounding Grid versus Dynamic Surface (acquisition fashion)
Each type tin can be created both in the Controller and in the Processing Managing director.
Sounding Grid: During data conquering if you add new soundings to grid cells that have previously been filled, the new data is MERGED with the existing and new attributes are computed, i.e. hateful value, standard deviation, count, minimum and maximum values. See annotation below.
Dynamic Surface: During data acquisition if you add together new soundings to grid cells that have previously been filled, the new information OVERWRITES the existing and new attributes are computed for the new information, i.eastward. mean value, standard difference, count, minimum and maximum values. In dredging applications a dynamic surface has limited value as information technology simply has one layer, i.e. you cannot add a design layer.
Caveat
Sounding Filigree - Overwrite Mode
This parameter is only shown when the Date attribute has been enabled during grid creation for one or more of the layers.
Past default new depth data is automatically merged with existing data.
In dredging operations overwriting of existing information is often what is needed to monitor progress.
- Age - Newer data will overwrite older data if the age of the older data is greater than the Age fourth dimension entered.
- Used when using a Multibeam on a cutter dredger. When swinging in a cutting the data is averaged if the data is not older than the threshold historic period set up.
- This tin can be useful if you desire to redo a survey line and but want to overwrite the sounding grid information of the previous effort.
- Time (older than)- Newer data will overwrite older information if the time tag of the older information is before the time and date entered.
Controller - Settings - Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Grid
Using your template database commencement the Controller, select Session Setup and Storage.
Click on Sounding Grid.
Nether Format enable the sounding grid.
Open the Create Sounding Grid awarding by clicking New.
This tin exist done in both Online or in Replay style. This opens a dialog with the post-obit interface elements:
| Number | Chemical element | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ane | Grid Settings | All settings that can be modified for the sounding grid. |
| 2 | Layer Drove | All layers that will exist added to the sounding grid upon saving. The listing here reflects the selections made in chemical element four. |
| iii | Layer Properties | The properties for each layer that is highlighted in the Layer collection. |
| 4 | Layer Tree view | All layers that can exist added to the sounding grid. Enable or disable attributes per layer or change the layer blazon to create the desired sounding grid configuration. |
| 5 | Add layer push button | Add together a new layer to the layer setup in the category selected in the Tree list. The layers are merely added when ticked and after OK has been pressed. |
| half dozen | Switch to Avant-garde Switch to Normal button | Normal mode: By default the program provides a limited list of suggested layers based on the different types of systems detected in the template or replayed database.
Advanced: The program gives an extended list of suggested layers. All systems are detected in the template or replayed database.
This option is only available when creating a New sounding grid. Information technology does not appear when the Edit button has been used. |
| | Assistance | Launch this page's offline available help. |
| | OK | Save a filigree with the grid settings and layers, shut the program afterwards and return to the Controller - Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Grid folio. |
| | Abolish | Exit the application and return to Controller - Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Grid page without saving annihilation. |
Click on the scan button 
and enter a proper name for the new sounding grid.
Enter values for the different grid settings.
From the default tree list, tick the layers to be activated for this new sounding grid.
Those layers are copied to the Layer Collection window.
Cull the Layer Type and Attribute Option for each activated layer. The number of attribute boxes checked depends on which attribute level is selected. For case, aspect Minimum checks only the Value tick box.
User Defined allows you lot to cheque whichever attributes you want.
Every bit you highlight each layer in the Layer Collection window, its selected attributes are listed under Layer Backdrop.
The default names and Layer Types of the suggested layers tin can besides exist configured
To add a layer highlight the type of layer needed, e.g. References, and click Add Layer.
A new layer called 'New' is created nether the highlighted layer blazon. Edit the name if necessary.
Adding an extra layer tin can also exist washed by right-clicking on the category where an extra layer is required and selecting Add together Layer in the right-click menu.
Click on 'Switch to Accelerate/Switch to Normal' to change the layer listing. Run into tabular array above for explanation.
The completed grid is displayed in Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Grid.
Clicking on the Edit button opens the Creating a new Sounding Grid dialog.
None of the Existing layers are editable.
The Add Layer push button is live and any new layers added are editable in terms of layer type and attribute selections.
Grid Settings can exist modified.
The Articulate Layers button opens the Select the Grid Layers to Erase dialog.
The Import push opens the Import to grid dialog.
Source File Type: select either Points File or QPS Grid File
Source File: browse to the required file.
Target Layer: all the previously defined layers are listed.
Import Mode: cull between Overwrite Existing Data and Merge with Existing Data.
Click OK to complete creation of the sounding grid.

How to utilize the old sounding grid dialog instead of the Create Sounding Filigree awarding
If preferred the older sounding filigree dialog tin exist used when Online.Information technology requires a registry setting modify:
Open the Controller - Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Grid page once. Then close the Controller.
The registry cardinal with default value is at present added to the registry.
Open the registry settings by pressing the Windows central and typingRegedit in the search box.
- In the Registry Editor, click Edit -> Find...
- Fill in: Allow Legacy SoundingGridDialog
- Right-click on it, and select Change
- Its default value is 0000 00
- To enable the new app, change information technology to 0000 01
- Click Ok, close the Registry Editor
| Registry Setting Proper name | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Legacy SoundingGridDialog | 0000 00 | Default. Create Sounding Grid awarding is used. |
| Allow Legacy SoundingGridDialog | 0000 01 | Onetime Controller dialog is used. |
Relaunch the Controller - Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Filigree page.
The Edit button is now disabled since information technology can simply be used with the Create Sounding Filigree application.
The New push button now launches the old dialog.
The sometime application is used by default when creating a new grid in the Processing Manager, and when using the stand-lonely program, i.e. \Program Files (x86)\QPS\QINSy viii.1\SoundingGridUtility.exe.

Processing Manager - File - New - Sounding Filigree
In the Processing Manager File carte, select New and Sounding Grid. This opens the Edit Surface dialog.
Enter the sounding grid file parameters.
| Sounding Grid File | | |
|---|---|---|
| File proper name | By default the new grid is named NEWGRID. Change this by entering a dissimilar proper noun. The name on the left is then updated. | |
| Prison cell size | Enter a value for the base cell size (Reminder - an additional five filigree layers are created with increasing prison cell size) | |
| Origin Mode | Automated | Centers the grid around the very first point that is imported or that is written to file during conquering. The algorithm to calculate the origin will always upshot in an origin which is a factor of north ten cell size relative to 0,0 in both directions. Example: Easting = 75498.367 75498.367 / 0.three = 251661.22333. |
| User Defined | Chiliadanually input the center coordinates. | |
| Grid Units | Survey Units | Every bit set in the template database (Database Setup). |
| Geographical Seconds | Grid is defined past geographical coordinates Breadth and Longitude. Be careful in setting the base of operations prison cell size: i second of arc at 45 deg breadth is approximately 31m in breadth and 22m in longitude. If you want a geographical cell size equivalent to one meter enter 0.03". | |
By default the plan creates one layer named SURVEYDATA.
Clicking on this name opens a different dialog that controls the filigree's layers.
| Sounding Grid Layer | |
|---|---|
| Layer Proper noun | Change the default layer proper name by entering a new name in the text field. The layer name on the left is so updated. |
| Layer Type | Click on this line to activate the drop downwards menu. |
| Layer Configuration | Click on this line to activate the drop down menu. |
Click on 
if you want boosted layers to store other bathymetry such as a blueprint model, InSurvey, Interim and OutSurvey, or if you demand to store other information types such as Mixture Density, Mixture Velocity, TDS, water temperature etc.
Gear up the name, type and configuration for each new layer added.
Click OK to consummate the grid definition.

Importing a Design Model to a Sounding Grid
At the moment (Feb. 2016) at that place are three different options for importing a design model:
Controller - Settings - Session Setup - Storage - Sounding Grid (*.pts/*.grd)
Click on the Import button which opens the Import to Grid File dialog.
Define the import parameters:
| File | |
|---|---|
| Source File Type | Select either a Points File or a QPS Filigree File from the pull downward carte. Typically the points file format is Eastward,N,Z although delimiters Space and Tab are as well supported. A single layer of an existing grid file is imported during each import transaction. |
| Source File | Select the designated grid file by pressing the browse button. A standard MSWindows selection window will appear. |
| Source Layer | When importing from an existing grid file, specify the layer from which the data are copied. |
| Target Layer | Select which layer to copy the source data to. |
| Import Mode | Overwrite existing data: the value in whatsoever prison cell already populated will be replaced with the imported value. |
Click Execute to begin the import process.
Render to: top of folio.
Processing Manager - Grid Tools - Import (*.PRO)
Brand sure the sounding grid you desire to import to is already created with the layers yous desire.
Make sure the pattern model *.PRO file is loaded into the project or the import will not piece of work. It tin can be loaded by importing
This file has some item needs: please refer to Line Database Manager.
The design model in a *.pro file.
With the correct filigree highlighted, click on Grid Tools and so on 
. This opens the Fill up Operations dialog.
Make entries and selections under General Settings. Fill up method is Design Model.
| Full general Settings | |
|---|---|
| Current Filigree File | The filigree file that was selected in the Project Explorer is shown hither. It is the sounding filigree to which the data are imported. |
| Used Expanse | All - All available space is used to import data into the grid, including data which might not currently be visible in the Project View. Boundary - Only data falling inside an existing boundary (created in a *.pro file or a *.dxf file before) is imported. The PRO or DXF purlieus must already exist imported before information technology can be selected. Past Mouse - Simply data falling within an expanse polygon divers by mouse in the Project View is imported. Click the mouse to depict each vertex of the polygon. Visible Area - Only data falling inside the bounds of the electric current Project View is imported. Zoom in or out to expand or contract the covered surface area. |
| Fill Method | How should the grid exist filled: with a Points File / Single Value / Interpolation / Extrapolation / Design Model / Geoid Model / Other Filigree. |
| Write Method | Overwrite existing data: the value in whatever jail cell already populated will exist replaced with the imported value. Merge with existing data: the imported value for a jail cell will be added to the existing value and a new hateful value is computed. |
| Jail cell Option | Choose which cells should be filled: All cells: Any cell for which in that location is a value in the imported information is written into the SG layer. Whether the imported value replaces or merges with a previously existing value depends on the write method selected. |
| Scale Factor | This is a multiplication factor which is applied to the information during import. For example if the original sounding points are in meters and yous want to import soundings expressed in feet, enter the scale factor to catechumen anxiety to meters. |
| Target Layer | Select the layer of the existing grid into which the imported data is to be written. |
| Blazon of data | Reports the arrangement used to collect the data being imported. Choice becomes available when that blazon of information can exist stored in a grid layer. In this case the grid layer does not take the attribute Quality. |
| Date of logging | The appointment of collection of the data to exist imported. Options becomes available when that type of data tin be stored in a grid layer. In this example the grid layer does not have the attributes Date and Time. |
Import Settings
| Import Settings | |
|---|---|
| File | Select the Design Model file to be imported. The list contains only XML/DXF/PRO files that accept been imported into the Processing Director. |
| Layer | Choose which layer in the design model file that is to exist imported. |
| Design model type(due south) | Cull which type(s) of objects are to be used to create the design model. |
Once General and Import settings are finalized, click on the Fill button to commencement the import.
A progress bar indicates the status of fill up operations. When Finished click close. The filled grid layer is now shown in the program view.

Stand lone SoundingGridUtility.exe
While this program is still available (Feb. 2016) information technology is being phased out. All its functionality is available in the other two filigree creation programs.
Start the SoundingGridUtility.exe program located in the \\Programme Files (x86)\QPS\QINSy eight.1 binder.
In the File menu open the sounding grid.
In the File bill of fare select Import. This opens the Import dialog.
Enter the General Settings.

| File Type | Select which type of file is to be imported. Points File [Ten Y Z] (*.pts) Points File [Lat Lon Z] (*.pts) User-divers ASCII File (*.*) ArcInfo Filigree File (*.asc) QPS Filigree File (*.grd) QINSy Mapping Binary WSV File (*.mbes) | Which types are available depends on the unit fix during the creation of the grid file. Infinite or comma delimited ASCII file. If the file to import or export is of a format not, by default, supported past the sounding grid utility and the file is in ASCII format, you have the option to define a new format for this type of data. An ASCII data exchange format text file for gridded data. This is a standard format for ESRI systems. Pick to import a layer from another sounding grid file, only if cell size and grid origin are the same as the sounding grid to which the data is imported. A file format output by the Line Database Managing director (LDM) which currently (Feb. 2016) uses the Terramodel ToolPak. This is being phased out, probably when the Line Planning functionality in the Processing Manager has the aforementioned user experience and functionality equally the old LDM. A *.PRO file consisting of polygons simply. Specific format used by WSV (The Waterways and Shipping Assistants in Germany ). The format description can be found in the Controller's Session Setup. |
| Used Area | All Visible Grid Purlieus Type in (Geographical) | All the data in the particular file type is imported irrespective of the extents of the program view. But the data that fits into the current extents of the plan view is imported from the particular file blazon being used. Just the data that fits into the extents of a defined polygon is imported from the detail file type being used. The polygon representing the boundary is selected from a line database file (*.PRO).. Enter minimum and maximum values for Easting and Northing. Enter minimum and maximum values for Latitude and Longitude. |
