Overview XTF records

This page gives an overview of the type of records that can be exported to XTF.
Some record types can be created from the native QPS database records so no extra storage of raw data packets is required.

  • Position,

  • Attitude,

  • Sidescan,

  • QPS_SingleBeam,

  • QPS_MultiTx,

  • QPS_Multibeam

However for the majority of the multibeam raw data records it is necessary to activate Raw Data Storage options in Database Setup for the specific multibeam system.
