Replay Controls

See Replaying Saved Sonar Files for the general description, but here we discuss the Omniscan-specific Export controls.

SonarView for Omniscan supports 4 export formats (XTF and SL2):

• svlog: (re)export as an svlog. This is useful for trimming a subset of the file.

• Sidescan XTF: An open source sidescan format containing both imagery and positional data for sidescan mosaicking. Useful with software like DeepView and SonarWiz.

• SL2: A Lowrance format containing both imagery and positional data for sidescan mosaicking. Recommended for use with ReefMaster.

• GeoTIFF: Georeferenced raster image format of the flattened sidescan mosaic. This can be opened in an image viewer or in non-hydrographic GIS software like QGIS.
