Qimera 2.6.0 - Improvements

Qinsy Object Track

Qinsy Object Track has been broken out to a separate Vertical Referencing option. The Qinsy Object track will use the computed height from Qinsy (as defined in the Computation Settings) to vertically reference the data.. The Object Track used to fall under the RTK (Accurate Height) option. Note that using the Qinsy Object track means that there will no longer be a fall through to a secondary height source, however if this is desired, it can be done with Qinsy replay.

FAU Z-Shifts

Qimera will now read z-shifts stored in .fau files. In this workflow, sonar files are exported from Qimera to .fau, for processing (editing and z-shifting) in a different software package. When the edits from these .fau files are applied back to the sonar files, edits and delta z values will be applied either as a ping shift, if all footprints have a similar z-shift, or a footprint shift in the case of sound velocity correction. These shifts will maintain the footprint - transducer relationship for downstream backscatter processing in FMGT. You can clear these shifts by using Tools>Manual Processing>Sound Velocity Correction. You can re-apply edits and z-shifts from .fau files at anytime and they will overwrite previous edits and z-shifts.

X-Point Listings 

An option to toggle the visibility of X-Point Listings has been added to the TOP detection control dock. When X-Point listings are present their visibility can be toggled on and off. 

Gridding Speed Improvements

When creating new Dynamic Grids, the gridding speed has been improved by 40-50% when using faster hard drives, eg. solid state drives.
