The format of the annotation output string can be selected online, under Settings - Annotation. By default, this is the same format as for decoding data.
There is also a possibility to send a direct annotation string.
All user selections are saved to Windows registry and restored the next time an annotation driver with the same system name (as defined in Database Setup) is started.
The driver window displays the user selections. Note that decoded values are not shown in the display.
Use Settings - Annotation to select the annotation format and output data content.
Use Options - Direct Annotation to send a fix mark and/or annotation comment directly to the echosounder or side-scan sonar.
Use Context Sensitive Help in the Annotation Dialog to get more information about each specific item.
Advanced Annotation
With the Deso 25 and Odom Echotrac annotation formats, some advanced settings are available.
For the Odom Echotrac, advanced annotation options are to correct the echosounder system time, or to set the echosounder chart speed, using the vessel speed over ground.
See annotation format descriptions below.
