Patchtest Tool


Patchtool window
The patchtest tool operates in a similar manner as the 2D toolkit by displaying soundings from several lines of data at once.  The difference lies in the fact that the patchtest toolkit allows the user to input vessel configuration parameters and apply these values to raw soundings in order to verify that the parameters are indeed correct (roll, pitch, heading and time offsets, in addition to a positioning antenna lever arm).
