PBG ("Personal Bathymetry Generator")

This feature is only available with the PBG module

This buttons gives access to the type of 3D data used. When multiple type of 3D data are selected, TimeZero merge them on the screen. It also offers a quick access to some of the PBG filters:

  • PBG Points: Displays red dots where depth data has been recorded or imported by the user according to the type of 3D database(s) selected.

  • PBG Soundings: Displays depth soundings (in black) where depth data has been recorded or imported by the user according to the type of 3D database(s) selected.

Note: The PBG points and PBG Depth Soundings do not appear for data that has been recorded or imported from a WASSP multibeam sounder.

  • MM3D 3D Chart Database: Enables the 3D from the chart (.dbt files that are installed with the chart).

  • MM3D 3D High Resolution Database: When a high resolution 3D file has been installed (.dbh files only available for selected areas), this items enable its display. Note that it is recommended to turn OFF the 3D chart Database when this item is turned ON.

  • TZ MAPS HR Bathy: Enable the TZ Maps 3D bathymetry view under water. 

  • Imported 3D Database: Enables the 3D imported from other format or other users.

  • User 3D Database: Enables the 3D data recorded by the user ("PBG Database").

  • Tidal Height Correction: Enable the tide correction when depth soundings are recorded from the sounder.

  • PBG Filters: Enable the various PBG filters configured under the PBG (Bathy Recorder) Options.

  • Reset Consistency Filter: When the consistency filter using the previous data has been enable from the PBG Options, this allows to force the current data to be used for the next depth point comparison. This is useful when the filter get "stuck" (when the filter thinks that a big slope is abnormal).

Note: The PBG tide and Filters are not available when connected to a WASSP system. All the filter are done from the WASSP processor.

  • Auto Clean 3D Database...: Opens the Auto-Clean 3D database window. You can refer to the Delete PBG Data chapter for more information.
