SonarWiz User Interface
SonarWiz User Interface
The SonarWiz screen consists of a main window, menus, toolbars, and docking areas for optional windows. The main window, known as the Map Window, is used for the display of georeferenced data. Basemap images and survey lines may be added to the map display to provide visual reference. For more detailed information about working with the SonarWiz windows see the User's Guide sections Screen Anatomy and Docking Windows.
Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access toolbar provides buttons to Create New, Open, and Save SonarWiz Projects. It also provides access to the current Project Settings and the Program Options panel. Clicking on the SonarWiz icon will open a larger version of the toolbar, as well as a list of most recently used projects.
Command Ribbon
The Command Ribbon is a collection of useful buttons and controls divided into 7 pages or tabs. The tabs are organized by the task you are performing such as Data Acquisition or Post Processing. Most of the functionality of SonarWiz can be accessed directly from the command ribbon. Note that some tabs are only present if you have the required license for those commands.
Map Toolbar
The Mapping Toolbar provides basic controls for manipulating the Map Display including pan and zoom functions, selection tools and controls for picking contacts and features on the map.
Project Explorer
The Project Explorer lists every object loaded into a SonarWiz project and groups them according to object type. You can enable or disable objects here, and by right-clicking objects, access the object-specific context menus that provide actions that you can perform on these objects.
Color
The Color Window controls the color palette display for global data types such as sidescan, bathymetry and sub-bottom displays.
Main Map
The main display window provides an interactive 2D map view of all of the sonar data loaded into the project along with any basemaps, features, contacts and map decorations selected for display.
Properties
When an object is selected in the Project Explorer, the Properties Window displays detailed information about the selected object. Many properties such as the color pallet of an object can be manipulated directly in the dialog.
Output
The Output Message window displays ongoing status information generated by SonarWiz as it runs. The complete log can be opened from the Tools Menu.
Status Bar
The connection status area of the Status Bar indicates the up or down status of real-time navigation and sonar connections. It also provides a direct link to the CTI Support site and a refresh command to redraw the screen
