Introduction

8 June 2017, We're pleased to present Qimera 1.5.2

Highlights

• The Raw Sonar File - Export to Processed Points dialog now includes column delimiter options.

• Select in Area now works for Processed Points files.

Technical Notes

• Exporting / Importing

  • It is now possible to cancel the export soundings from Dynamic Surface job.

  • The Dynamic Surface, export to Soundings functionality will now include all soundings as intended.

  • When exporting a source file as ASCII Processed Points, the uncertainty will now be 95% confidence interval.

  • The uncertainty expected when importing ASCII Processed Points is now expected to be at 95% confidence interval.

  • Exporting lines to an SD Point object will now include all points.

• 3D Editor

  • The 3D Editor now properly applies fixed range colormaps for depths.

  • Changes made in Qimera 1.5.1 occasionally caused the 3D Editor to be unable to save edits. This has been fixed.

• Qimera Projects

  • The opening of a point cleaning project has been improved and Qimera will not re-scan files unnecessarily.

  • Qimera will now automatically create a Tide folder for projects created in version 1.1

• Processing

  • When an SD separation model needs to be re-projected, the path will now automatically update to the re-projected copy.

  • Fixed a bug preventing draft from being applied correctly for QINSy projects opened in Qimera.

  • When applying SBET navigation files to data, some pings at the end of the line have the height adjustment applied twice. This has been fixed.

• Slice Editor

  • The surface edit overview will now update correctly if the size of the slice selection is changed.

  • When 'Auto Zoom' is turned on, editing tools will now always auto zoom, even if the extents had been changed manually.

  • The Slice Editor sounding pre-caching that was introduced in Qimera 1.5 could load too many points. Caching will now limit memory usage.

  • The Slice Editor sounding properties dialog had the horizontal and vertical TPUs reversed. This has been fixed.

  • Spline Filters will now be applied correctly to rotated Slice selections.

• Misc Tools

  • The Datagram Viewer will now show the manufacturer's datagram code when possible.

  • Multiple '.000' files containing True Heave can now be opened at once by the Tide Tool.

  • There was a bug preventing the Patch Test Tool from working correctly when 'Motion Sensor' was selected. This has been fixed.

• Dynamic Surfaces

  • The 'Update Surface' status bar will no longer bring itself to the front of all windows open in a display.

  • In the Dynamic Surface - Snapshot to Static Surface dialog, Color by 'None' is now correctly called 'Depth Layer'.

  • Suspect flags can now be cleared successfully using the Dynamic Surface - Sounding Selection dialog.

• Source Data

  • Corrupt QPDs are now properly handled and won't cause a crash.

  • Kongsberg data that had 'Extra Detections' turned off part way through a line are now handled correctly.

  • Interferometric sonars that had binning applied during logging in QINSy need to be reprocessed in Qimera. This will now be done automatically and the original QPDs will be backed up.

  • Pressure units for the Platform Depth plot are now correctly taken from a QINSy DB when applicable.

• Selections

  • The Freehand Selection outline is now visible off the surface at all times.

  • Improvements have been made to starting a Scroll Selection off the surface.

  • Center clicking to reposition will now work off the surface in 2D view mode.

  • The 'Select in Area' functionality now works correctly.

• Miscellaneous

  • The Downsampling settings in the Water Column Tool will now be remembered when switching between lines.

  • Vessel Override Configurations that have new systems added will now work correctly.

  • General performance when modifying SVP information and checking raw sonar files has been improved.

  • Uninstalling Qimera will no longer remove the NOAA Cube Parameters file.
