Changes from previous versions:
It has been reported that some users have had problems getting HYDROBIB to run. I suspect that it has been related to the regional settings of the individual user’s PC. It should be resolved in this version – but please let me know if you experience any problems.
Survey calculations are now gathered under the tab “R2 Calculations”:
Hydrobib 1
“R2 Calculations” has been updated and a new option for calculating the a priori TPU values of a multibeam sonar survey setup is introduced.
Hydrobib 2
The R2 TPU Calculator is to provide a general calculation of the THU and TVU values under different situations and system configurations. Various hydrographic specification requirements can be compared to the TPU calculations.
It is possible to save the calculation results in a PDF format report
For the IHO Calculator, I would like to express my gratitude to Giorgio Cover (Italy/Holland) and to Johnnie Blom (Sjöfartsverket/Sweden) for contributing with
inputs to the Dutch and Swedish/Finnish hydrographic specifications.
COM testing
Testing of data on serial ports has been improved and extended (Hydroterminal).
Whereas the serial port monitor (Hydroterminal) is now fully functional, I am still working on the network monitor (Hydronetwork). It is, however, possible to monitor standard UDP broadcasting from a network address in this version.
