Instruments
In the setup application the operator may change various parameters for an instrument,
change I/O settings, remove instruments, add new instruments and change the instrument
order.
Edit instrument
To change instrument general parameter, you simply have to select the instrument in the
list. The available parameters will then appear at the right.

The list will then consist of a series of general parameters (common for all instruments)
and perhaps some type specific parameters. A list of instrument specific parameters is
given in another document.
Common parameters:

pop up menu Edit special settings. This applies to a.o.
- User defined output
- Data to Coda long format
- Export navigational data
- Digicourse streamer definition
- Geosubsea Pipeline inspection output
Remove an instrument
To remove an instrument, just select the instrument in the list and active the right mouse
pop up menu Remove Instrument.
Note: NO PROMPT FOR CONFIRMATION IS GIVEN
Add an instrument
Adding an instrument can be performed by
1. Selecting the Instrument top level entry in the tree view and activate Add new item

2. Select the instrument type below the instrument level and activate Add new item

In the first case a type selection box pops up:

Here you select the type you want to add and press OK.

Hereafter a new instrument type selection pops up:

The dialogue shows
- List of all available types
- Short format description of selected type
- Edit field to enter your own name
You must then accept selection by OK.

Next the ordinary I/O dialogue pops up, as described at page 10.

Finally the new instrument is inserted in the list and selected. You must then finalise the
settings in the right side parameter list.

Sort instrument list
NaviPac sorts instrument lists automatically by the following criteria:
- Instruments set to mode Off is always kept at the end of the list.
- Instruments are sorted after object number, i.e. first all gyros for the vessel etc.
But the operator has to specify which instrument is the primary (eg. bets gyro, motion
sensor etc.). This can be performed via the right mouse pop-up Move up and Move down
commands.
Navigation stations
Some navigation instruments (tracking system, range/range systems etc.) are based on
under laying station setup. They will be shown as children to the instrument in the tree
view:

The operator may edit each station selecting it and entering parameters at the right side,
as shown above. Parameters vary from system to system and will not be discussed here.
Beside that, you may
- Add new stations
Right mouse on the instrument and activate Add Station
- Import stations from file
Right mouse on the instrument and activate Import Station(s)
Read stations form ASCII file:
# Sample station definition file
#--------------------------------
COJAK, 500005, 6312345, 23.9
Stat1x , 500000, 6312345, 23.45
Stat2x , 500001, 6312345, 23.5
- Remove station
Right mouse on the station and activate Remove
Note: You are not allowed to remove the last station.

Dynamic positioning objects
Some dynamic positioning systems (like USBL or LBL) support multiple tracking
objects.
They will be shown as children to the instrument in the tree view:

The operator may edit each station selecting it and entering parameters at the right side,
as shown above. Parameters vary from system to system and will not be discussed here.
Beside that, you may
- Add new object
Right mouse on the instrument and activate Add Object
- Remove object
Right click at the object and press Remove.

Geodesy
The current selected geodesy can be viewed and controlled from the tree view Geodesy
item:

If projection is set to UTM, then you may change the zone in the right side of the view.
The remaining items must be selected via right mouse menu.
Projection and ellipsoid
To change projection and ellipsoid, please select one of the two entries and activate the
right mouse menu Edit Settings.

This module is able to read the geodesy set-up from the General Set-up database and
then display it into the fields in a dialogue box. The available predefined projections and
ellipsoids is read from the General Set-up database and inserted into two option menus.

When the user selects an ellipsoid/projection the relevant information for the selection is
displayed. Some fields will be read only; some projections will have more fields than
others etc. Fields will be validated when pressing the OK button.

In the above example the standard projection ED50 and the UTM North ellipsoid have
been selected. Changes made in this dialogue will be displayed in the Messages field in
the main window.

Selecting a projection different from the current will change the rest of the fields in the
dialogue, as the parameter setting will depend on the chosen basic projection.

Ellipsoid:
Gives a selection list with all available ellipsoids. The three below fields will be set
automatically on basis of this selection.

Semi major axis:
Gives the semi major axis of the ellipsoid in meters. (E.g. ED50 is 6378388.0000 meter)

Inverse flattening:
Inverse flattening of the ellipsoid, flattening is calculated as

1
InverseFlattening

(E.g. ED50 is 297.0000015000).

Eccentricity:
Eccentricity is another way of defining the flattening of the ellipsoid, as eccentricity
equals:
( ) Flattening Flattening - 2

Projection:
Gives a selection list with all available projections. The below fields will depend on the
projection in use. Some fields may be read-only and some editable.

Scale factor at CM:
Point scale factor at origin of projection (Central meridian).

Central meridian:
Gives longitude at origin of projection.

Origin latitude:
Gives latitude at origin of projection.

False easting:
False easting applied to calculations.

False northing:
False northing applied to calculations.

UTM Zone:
Gives UTM Zone number.

OK Button:
Accept changes made in dialogue. Close dialogue and apply selection to current set-up.

Apply Button:
Apply the changes but keep the dialogue open. For e.g. UTM, central meridian will be
updated based on the entered zone number.

Cancel Button:
Close the dialogue and discard any changes.

Load US State Plane:
Allows the operator to select geodesy between a series of US State Planes. A new
dialogue pops up:

And you select the plane in either SPCS83 (GRS1980) or SPCS27 (Clarke 1866). The
selection applies to both ellipsoid and projection. Note that the special Alaska oblique
methods arent supported.
For details on state planes, please refer to James P. Reilly (State Plane Coordinates
vs. Surface Coordinates Part 4) or
http://www.openspirit.com/OpenSpirit_Tech_Docs/v2.3.1/docs/
Development/ClientReferences/BuiltInProjections.html.

Datum shift

To change the selected datum shift, just select the entry and activate the right mouse
menu Edit Settings.


This dialogue is available for specification of datum shift data (7-parameter
transformation from WGS84 to user datum).
The predefined parameters are read from the Set-up DB and displayed into the fields in
the dialogue box. The available predefined values are inserted into 7 text fields.
Please note that shift must be enabled for each GPS instrument. Operator
must specify 7 parameters with up to 12 significant digits
Tx (default in meters)
Ty (default in meters)
Tz (default in meters)
Rx (default in seconds)
Ry (default in seconds)
Rz (default in seconds)
S (scaling in Parts Per Million)
The data unit for translation and rotation can be selected in the two lists.
The parameters will be used in the following calculation:

North Sea
This is a multi-step operation, which is commonly used in the Norwegian sector of the
North Sea.
Transform from WGS84 to ED87 using a normal 7-parameter (NGO) transformation
If the resulting latitude is below 62 degree, use dedicated algorithm to get from ED87 to
ED50
If the resulting latitude is above 65 degree, use dedicated 7-parameter transformation
from ED87 to ED50:
Tx = 1.51
Ty = 0.84
Tz = 3.50

Rx = 1.893E-6 radians
Ry = 6.870E-7 radians
Rz = 2,764E-6 radians
PPM = -6.090E-7
If the resulting latitude is between 62 and 65 degree, use a weighed average of the
algorithm and the dedicated 7-parameter.
One thing must be observed. Calculation of the Cartesian co-ordinates differs for the two
methods. The Bursa-Wolf method uses the WGS84 height if available, as this gives the
most correct result. The online shift (from GPS receivers) will use the GPS height, only if
its in RTK mode.
Please note: The result of the shift is two-dimensional, i.e. the height is not included out
of the calculation.
NADCON
Between NAD83 and NAD27, where NAD83 is to be seen as WGS84. The NaviPac
implementation of NADCON (North American Datum Shift Utility) is based on ASCII
files for the American zones, and is an empirical solution rather than a mathematical
solution. The NADCON files define a grid in lat/long with transformation constants for
each grid point. NaviPac uses this as a look-up table and interpolate between 4 closest
points to get actual shift correction. See
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PC_PROD/pc_prod.shtml#NADCON for further details and
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/ftp/data/nadcon for list of available grid files. Selecting
NADCON file is not supported in NPConfig instead please refer to GENSETUP.

Below the different fields are described in detail:

Projection:
Gives projection as selected.

Ellipsoid:
Gives ellipsoid as selected.

Method:
Defines how to perform the shift:
None: No shift performed
Normal: Use the NGO method
North Sea: Use the special Norwegian method (WGS84 -> ED87 -> ED50) No inverse
calculation is currently available.
Bursa-Wolff: Use BW calculation, where height is applied if RTK.
Nadcon: Use external NADCON grid. Remaining parameters are ignored. See e.g.
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PC_PROD/pc_prod.shtml#NADCON for further details.
The method must also be set individual for each GPS receiver, as they might be
configured individually.

DS Name: Name of default shift parameters. Refers to definition in the file datumshift.cf,
where a series of common shifts are included. To specify your own parameters, you must
select the shift named User defined Datum Shift.

TX:
Transformation parameter X (Easting)

TY:
Transformation parameter Y (Northing)

TZ:
Transformation parameter Z (Height)

RX:
Rotation parameter X

RY:
Rotation parameter Y

RZ:
Rotation parameter Z

Scale:
Scaling factor for transformation (Parts per million)

OK Button:
Accept changes made in dialogue. Close the dialogue and apply changes to current set-
up.

Cancel Button: Close the dialogue. If any changes have been performed, they will be
discarded.
Data unit
From NaviPac version 3.4 you may select your own data unit, i.e. shall data be in meter,
feet, us survey feet or
Activate right mouse on the shown unit and activate Edit Settings and the dialogue pops
up:

First off all you must note that you may have separate units on position data (X,Y and
height) and echosounder/depths.
In the upper part you have to select which position and depth scale you want to use,
default is metric. The selected unit will be shown in the field below the selection list, as it
shows name, scale and unit, where scale is defined as how do we get from one meter to
one of the new units.
The second part of the dialogue allows you to select if data are to be logged in the
selected display unit or not. If you e.g. want to show data in US Survey feet but still want
to log in the default metric system.

If you have selected a new scale for positions, then all instrument related inputs (i.e.
offsets, station locations, C_O values, geodesy parameters etc.) must be given in the new
format.
To avoid too much manual work after a change, the system can update all items
automatic for you. On OK the following question pops up:

Answer yes if NaviPac should adjust to the new scale (the presented scale is defined as
new scale divided by old scale). BUT: You should always check the settings after
changes!
NaviPac includes metric and US Survey feet as defined units. If you want to define our
own data units, then please contact EIVA or refer to manual on GENSETUP.

Objects
In the previous version of NaviPac, the operator has had a lot of pre-defined objects
based on the list in objects.txt see manual for gensetup for further information.

This was one of the more confusing things in NaviPac, and in NPCofig we have added a
higher level to this. Here you define yourself which objects to use and how to name
them.

In the tree to the left a label called Objects covers that functionality:

Expanding the Objects gives a list of all objects in the current set-up i.e. locations
available for instruments and dynamic positioning objects. As default the system
includes object number 1 Vessel this must never be removed!
You may now:
- Change the name of an object
Select the object in the list and type a new name.
- Add a new object
Select the Object label and select right mouse command Add new item. The
system then selects the first free number and adds it to the list. The default name
will be fetched from objects.txt.
- Import an object
Select the Object label and select right mouse command Import item. Display all
objects from object.txt and allow importing them one-by-one. This feature is
mainly kept for backwards compatibility.
- Remove an object
Select the object in the list and activate right mouse menu Remove. Note this
cannot be performed for objects assigned to any instruments.
- Adjust to current configuration
If you have loaded an old setup file then the active object list may differ from the
objects been used. You may adjust that by activating right mouse, Reset to used
objects.

You can also get a detailed view of the instruments assigned to the object. Select the
Instruments panel and a total list pops up:

For each instrument it displays the name, the port numberm the I/O mode and the
NaviPac ID number.

Warm start
One important setting in especially simpler configurations is, which displays do the
operator want to see during start-up.
When NaviPac starts the navigation cycle, the operator can specify, which graphical
processes shall be opened automatically. This can be controlled from the Warm Start
label in the tree. Expand it to see whats currently started right click and activate the
menu Edit Settings to change the selection:

You just check each of the wanted processes. At next navigation start, they will be started
automatically on the saved position and with the saved size. If you need some external
programs to be started together with NaviPac, you may check Custom program and enter
the name (e.g. Esc.exe). The program should preferable be placed on the
$EIVAHOME\bin catalogue.
Navigation
The primary goal with NaviPac and NPConfig is naturally to go online and collect some
data.
Online navigation can be started and stopped from the lower part of the window:

- Status:
Is navigation running or not
- Start navigation:
Start the navigation process and open all requested views.
- Stop navigation
Stop the navigation process and close all opened views.
First of all it must be noticed that only the file named gensetup.db is valid for online
navigation. If you try to start navigation with another file loaded, then you get a warning
like and nothing further happens.

When navigation starts, the system checks if the setup file is compatible with the last time
the system was started. If so, then it performs a warm start based on exactly same online
settings as last time. This will be the preferable solution, as no special settings must be
considered.

If the files arent compatible perhaps due to addition or removal of instruments, then it
has to perform a cold (manual) start instead. This results in a couple of dialogues popping
up:

Here you must select at least one navigation input like the GPS above. It can always be
later on in the online program.


If you are using GPS just press OK. If you use range/range or similar settings, then you
have to enter an approximate position to make the navigation operational.
User commands
NPConfig allows quick access to user programs via configurable buttons:

There may be up to 5 commands included. Each command represents an executable file
like an EXE file or a BAT file. Definition of each buttons is made in the NAVIPAC.INI
file (located in \WinNT):

[NPConf]
CMD1=HJSplit
CMD1_Action=C:\TOOLS\HJSplit\hjsplit.exe
CMD1_Reload=1

Where
[NPConf]
CMD1: Gives the name to be shown at the button.
CMD1_Action: Gives a link to the file being executes.
CMD1_Reload: Identifies if the program must reload settings after execution

One potential use of this could be, that you have defined a set of different configurations,
perhaps one where you use WGS84 and one where you use ED50 datums. You could
then create two bat files which restores all files related to each configuration:

CMD3 = -> WGS84/UTM31
CMD3_Action=\eiva\Mybin\towgs.bat
CMD3_Reload=1

And having a bat file like this:
@echo off
echo ******************************************************************
echo NaviPac Restore WGS84/UTM Setup
echo ******************************************************************
echo Copying files ....
COPY \eiva\mydb\wgs84utm\*.DB \eiva\navipac\db
COPY \eiva\mydb\wgs84utm\*.INT \eiva\navipac\setup
COPY \eiva\mydb\wgs84utm\NAVIPAC.INT \WINNT
echo Completed

The directory \eiva\mydb\wgs84utm should then include all files related to this job that
is the db files (gensetup and onlsetup) and the INI files. The button wills then copy these
files to requested directory and load it into the NPConfig.
External configuration
It might sometime be useful to set-up NPConfi in a reduced control variant eg. the so-
called bridge version, where operator may use it as read-only instead.

This can be defined in the NPCONFIG.INI file, which has to be located at
\eiva\navipac\setup:


The above example (the default installed one) gives full access. You may then disable
instrument control (add new, remove and edit), geodesy changes and definition of
objects.

Typically 0 means no access and 1 means access. On edit instruments and geodesy, there
is a more advanced definition
0 No editing
1 General edit OK
2 Full edit
