2.6.3.1. Overview of the Windows

Control Window:

The Dataviewer View Mode has 3 tabs.

  • Plot: (control what is viewed)

  • Log: show time ranges requested so far

  • Help: a little help (under construction). Most help is in the web pages you are reading right now

Panel window

Panel Window:

The only thing you can do in the panel window is pan or zoom, but if multi-cursor is enabled in the Control window, the red line in the panel plot matches the corresponding position in the topography window.

Panel window

Topography Window:

The topography window is designed to view ocean velocity vectors over ocean topgraphy. You can change some of the display settings (vector averaging in vertical and time, and length of vectors). You can pan and zoom (but the topography does not increase in resolution). If Multicursor is enabled in the Control window, the red line in the panel plot matches the corresponding position in the topography window.

In compare mode, you can also choose which sonar to view.

Layout:

The windows and controls are designed to have the panels on the right, control on the bottom left, and topography on the upper left, but of course you can do what suites you.
