1. What’s New – HYPACK2017

2. What’s New for HYPACK 2017
Our annual release for HYPACK includes many changes – from survey preparation, to data acquisition and to programs that will create the final product. To show them all, we would need more than 100 slides! The presentation shows some of the highlights for the release, covering most of the programs. In the release, we included a document for What’s New, showing all the changes to the software Most computers are 64-bit, and programs that had both versions (32 bit and 64 bit ) will default to the operating system in this release. No need to select the program to use. These include: TIN, HYSCAN, Geocoder, CLOUD, MBMAX64 .

3. What’s New for HYPACK 2017 – License Manager (Keyview.exe)
Our Licenses GUI has been updated.
Support now for additional Xylem products.
New programs added:
Marine Search
Sub Bottom
ISS ViPer
New security also allows for OEM versions of HYPACK (i.e. a single multibeam sensor key)
No change is needed to the key

4. HYPACK SHELL – user defined folders and settings
Folders that are not in use can be hidden in the Project Items list
Select folders to view

5. HYPACK Shell – Sort folder by date, time and file type
Easy to manage folders with multiple of entries!
Folder sorted by file type

6. HYPACK Shell – Defined user interface and layout
Option to change HYPACK shell menu items and icons for a simplified operation. Example of Full layout verse Sub bottom scheme.

7. HYPACK – Shell – create defined layout
In the View option – Layout, user can define new views. The default option is the traditional view

8. HYPACK Shell: Trackline data from HS2, HS2x files
Previously, trackline data could only be drawn from RAW/HSX data file. Now you can display the tracks from edited multibeam and sidescan data files

9. Line Planning – Report for survey
Once you create a line plan, you can estimate the total survey time needed.

10. Web Map Server and KMZ feature update
Simpler interface, making the downloads easier to use. Uses center point of main map for capturing data. Images are all stored in SATELLITE Folder in the project Multiple satellite imagery downloads now occur simultaneously, downloads much faster Automatic uploading to HYPACK Survey

11. Line Editor: Mission Planning Tools
Export file for Mission Plan systems - MAVLink, GPX, MOOS, ZRP. More to be added in 2017

12. HSX Splitter (new program!)
Get rid of turn data, or create multiple files from a single AUV mission
Original track
Trackline afterwards
Each green line represents a new HSX file holding a single segment

13. MBMAX64 – WOBBLE Analysis
Analyze multibeam data with the WOBBLE 64 tool. Determine offset, timing and sensor adjustments needed to fix multibeam data
Go from this …
… To this

14. MBMAX64 – New Sound Speed interpolation methods
Added new options for applying sound speed to multibeam data
Interpolation based upon Time or Time&Position
No interpolation - use a single cast, applying the profile to:
Most recent
Nearest in time
Nearest position

15. MBMAX64 – Multi-detection support
Option to enable/disable multi-detection/extra detection
Option to filter detection levels

16. MBMAX64 –Edit location shown in main screen
See where you are in the survey. Data in sweep window is tracked in main display

17. MBMAX64 - Combining Multibeam and Lidar Data
Processing both Multibeam and Lidar in MBMAX allows the viewing of both data sets in a single session.
Example of multibeam with lidar data:Sail boats anchored nearly on top of the wreck

18. CLOUD updates New save options: LAS, LAZ and pts
Export to Geotiff and HTML web page
Color CLOUD points using Geotiffs
Save target points
Save golden soundings
Filter Points based upon:

19. Sidescan updates
Program name - Both 32-bit and 64-bit are now named the same!
Added feature for the direct import of 3rd party data files (JSF, SDF, Cmax). No need to convert to HSX.
Notes:
If you want to display the trackline data in the shell, you need HSX or HS2 data
If you have other files types, you need to use the HSX Converter to create HSX files

20. Sidescan updates
New option to clip sidescan range to the NOAA guidelines
For any towfish height below 8 percent of the range scale in use, the effective scanning range is defined to equal 12.5 times the towfish height

21. Sidescan Survey update
Survey GUI is redesigned.
Range and Pinging (on/off) are now in the main display. Previously you needed to go into the set-up tools option for the control
Layback field is accessible to update manual cable out

22. Sidescan Mosaic
Ability to select sections of tracklines to hide or show imagery inside/outside area. Mosaic data will follow the selection Allow tiles to size as user defined. Easy way to clip data set!

23. Updates to HSX Converter tool
Added YDFF to RAW format conversion. – added support for old HydroSurveyor FIles RAW files can be used in single beam editor YDFF can be used in ADCP profile for velocity and discharge

24. Single Beam Editor SBMAX64
Introducing the New Single Beam editor. A 64-bit version, based upon MBMAX64. More flexibility, and easier to edit.

25. Single Beam Editor SBMAX64
Designed with the HydroSurveyor in mind, to capture all 9 beams in a single session. Option to select a single beam or all beams.
Profile view of dual frequency system

26. Single Beam Editor – filter and save options
Data can be saved to HS2x files, which will allow the user to re- edit and adjust offsets.
Data can also be saved to EDT files for use in other programs
All filter options in a single page set-up

27. HYPLOT Updates
HYPLOT Multi sheet now have display settings for each individual PLT sheet.
