The NaviPac configuration module provides easy set-up of all survey parameters either in real-time or off-line prior to the start of a survey project. The software features flexible selection of geodetic control parametersincluding datums, projections, measurement units andgeoid models, allowing for operation world-wide. Vesselshapes are easily generated or imported and stored astemplates for later use. A variety of methods are available for the creation of surveylines: e.g. click-and-drag by mouse/trackball, manual input of survey line coordinates, offset/parallel surveylines, cross lines, circles, arcs, barge-lines, star patterns, etc. Survey lines can further be created pertaining toa defined survey area. A wizard allows creation of templates for input of other data formats. All inputs are automatically stored in a project configuration file allowing the user to set up new surveys or quickly switch to an existing survey. |

Realtime Operation NaviPac supports Windows® XPP/Vista and is based on a client/server solution enabling execution of all software sub-modules on any workstation on the network. Field-tested device I/O drivers are available for all commonly used positioning systems,: GPS/DGPS/RTK systems, gyros and compasses, motion/attitude sensors, singlebeam echosounders, magnetometers, dynamic positioning systems, IMCA, USBL/LBL/INS systems, ARPA and AIS, tide-gauges, autopilots, etc. |

Time stamping of sensor data is performed using the internal computer clock or GPS PPS. Furthermore, the TimeBox time-synchronized interface unit provides LAN interface and distributed time tagging with accuracy better than 100 μsec.
Full system flexibility allows design and configura-tion of survey parameters and preferred display layout. The Helmsman’s display can be distributed without limit to slave monitors or workstations for individual windows layout and interactive use by the operator.
The navigation monitor features graphical presentation of selected survey objects and cartographic features in real-time for both absolute and relative positions. Vessel positions, survey lines (in DXF, DWG and ASCII formats) and objects may be displayed superimposed on C-Map or S57 based electronic chart displays. The Helmsman’s monitor displays off-track and along-track information, including planned and actual fix location.Generic I/O drivers allow definition or customization of your own device I/O drivers. The I/O port settings are easily defined and data is interfaced via RS232, LAN/WLAN (UDP/IP), or EIVA TimeBox time-synchronized interface unit. |

| A vast number of field-tested device I/O drivers are provided for most available positioning systems, GPS/DGPS receivers, gyros, motion/attitude sensors, tide-gauges, singlebeam echosounders, magnetometers, dynamic positioning systems, autopilots, etc. Generic I/O drivers allow definition or customisation of own device I/O drivers. Data is interfaced via RS232, a LAN or via a digital I/O interface. Device I/O drivers for multibeam echosounders, multibeam side scan backscattering, pipe- trackers, scanning and profiling sonars, etc. are provided in the NaviScan software. |

| NaviPac Plus |
| NaviPac Plus is intended for RTK operations and provides interfaces for navigation sensors, GPS time synchronization, gyro compass, singlebeam echosounder, attitude/motion sensor, and data output. If used for multbeam echosound-er surveys the NaviScan software must be acquired separately for acquisition of data. NaviPac Plus allows for upgrade to the full version NaviPac. |
