Database Manager
The charting display stores and displays the WASSP information in databases. Each
database can store information from any geographic area or areas. The areas do not
have to be co-located or continuous but can cover different parts of the globe if desired.
The
Database File Path
must be set to the directory in which the databases are created. Additional
databases can be created by clicking on the “
New
” button.
The databases allow the operator to store WASSP information from one or more visits to an area. This
allows changes between the visits to be easily compared. A database may however be overwritten by
selecting it for writing on a subsequent visit.
The
Database Manager
provides an ability to select both a “
Viewing
” and a “
Recording
” database.
The information displayed on the chart display is always taken from the “
Viewing
” database. Incoming
data from the WASSP is always written to the “
Recording
” database. To view incoming seafloor data
as the WASSP collects it (normal operation), set the Viewing database to the same as the Recording
database. By selecting a different database for “Viewing” than “Recording”, the operator is able to look
at the information previously recorded while still saving to the recording database.
