Window-insensitive Hotkeys

There are several hotkeys that are window-insensitive, i.e. they can be pressed at anytime with the mouse in any window (with a few exceptions, noteably the 'd' key and the spacebar).


Key: spacebar
Applicable window(s): ALL but PHASE_AMPLITUDE, BACKSCATTER, ATTITUDE
Function: advance to next 80 pings.
NOTE:  The spacebar is employed in many windows and sub-windows.  If there is no action associated with the spacebar in a given window, then the default is to advance 80 pings in the current file.

Key: backspace
Applicable window(s): ALL
Function: retreat to previous 80 pings.
NOTE:  There are no windows that have an action associated with the backspace key, therefore, it can be pressed in any window.

Key: d (dump)
Applicable window(s): ALL but ALONG-TRACK EDITOR, ACROSS-TRACK EDITOR
Function: Dump current 80 pings to ASCII file (dump.data). Contents of file are as follows:

Port and starboard coverage (metres)
Min and Max valid (unflagged) depths (metres)
Number of swaths
Number of beams
Ping period (seconds)
Repeating sequence for each swath
{
    Roll, Pitch, Heave, Heading (degrees, degrees, metres, degrees)
    Repeating sequence for each beam in each swath
    {
        Beam Number, Long, Lat, Across-track offset, depth (number,degrees,degrees,metres,metres)
    }
}

Notes:

  1. This overwrites any previous dumps.
  2. Lat, Long are only valid if swathed is run in geographic mode (zeroes otherwise).
  3. This function does not work in the SWATH PROFILES sub-window of the main Swathed window since it is used to detrend the data

Key: g
Applicable window(s): ALL
Function: Dump current 80 pings to ASCII file (distort.grid). Contents of file are as follows:
Number of beams
Number of swaths
Repeating sequence for each swath
{
    Repeating sequence for each beam
    {
        Position x, Position y, depth, backscatter (metres, metres, metres, dB (255-value/2))
    }
}

Notes:

  1. This overwrites any previous dumps.
  2. Positions are in DTM pixels.
  3. Positions are only valid if swathed is run in geographic mode (zeroes otherwise).
