Introduction

19 Juny 2017, We're pleased to present Qimera 1.5.3

Users applying filters to high-density data such as Laser or R2Sonic UHD are strongly advised to upgrade to Qimera 1.5.3

Highlights

• Support for new Kongsberg Geoswath SFF processed points data format.
• Data imported as Processed Points can now be used in the Cross Check tool
• Export Track to ASCII is now populated with Date & Time instead of seconds since 1970.
• Depths in the ASCII points export are now filled to 3 decimal places instead of 2.
• A checkbox has been added to the Add Raw Sonar Files dialog that allows use of NMEA checksums to be turned off.
• The wording of the 'Project Locked' dialog has been changed to be more clear that the project could be locked because of a crash.
• The warning that appears when over-zoomed in Qimera plots now has the option 'Don't show this message again'.

Technical Notes

• QINSy Related
  
  • Improvements to handling of corrupt QPDs.
  • Data from QINSy Pseudo echosounders can now be toggled off when building a surface.
  • QINSy projects that have had data added since it was first opened in Qimera are now better handled.
  • QINSy Laser data was being incorrectly processed when the project was configured to use Feet.
  • QINSy Laser systems mounted with a > 90 degree heading offset could cause incorrect processing. This is now fixed.
  • Improved reading of certain QINSy DB files that have staggered data logging.
• Filtering
  
  • Filtering operations on large, dense datasets (ie laser) could cause QPDs to become corrupt. This is now fixed.
  • Qimera now shows a warning stating that changes made by Z-Shift or Refraction filter operations will be reverted by reprocessing.
• Source Files
  • Offsets for dual head T20-P data from HSX files are now read correctly.
• Slice Editor
  • Rectangular selection size and location can now be adjusted manually with the Selection Properties dialog.
  • The Auto Zoom functionality now works correctly in Fixed and Free Slice Select modes.
• Navigation and SVP Processing
  • Improved application of latency to imported navigation.
  • Various improvements to SVP application and processing.
  • Qimera now calculates grid convergence for each MBES line. Previously, a large SBET could cause the incorrect convergence to be used.
• Exporting
  • Various improvements and fixes to GSF exporting of dual head systems.
  • Time stamps in Time Series Editor ASCII exports are now Date & Time.
• Tools
  
  • The Patch Test Tool will no longer prompt twice to save.
  • Certain data caused the checkboxes in the Wobble Analysis Tool to behave incorrectly. This has been fixed.
  • Update Dynamic Surface from Edits functionality will now only update the surfaces that are affected by edits.
  • The colors of the bottom detections shown in the Water Column Tool are now correct.
