HyPack raw data files

Raw data files in HyPack, are used to store all incoming data with high precision timestamps. Hydromagic allows users to import projects previously recorded in HyPack to further process the data in Hydromagic Dredging (after processing the raw data and generating a matrix file from the soundings).

Starting the raw data import wizard

All file formats which Hydromagic is able to convert to raw data files, can be imported through the raw data import wizard. To start the wizard, right-click the 'Raw Data' folder in the "Project Explorer" and select the 'Import Data Wizard...' option.

Right click the "Raw Data" folder and select "Import Data Wizard...".

Select file format

The first page of the wizard allows you to set the format of the file(s) we wish to import. Since this tutorial is about importing HyPack raw data, we select the 'HyPack raw data files (*.*)' option from the drop-down list.

Select the "HyPack raw data files" option from the drop-down list.

Select file(s) to import

On the second page of the wizard, you can select which files to import. Click the 'Browse...' button to select the folder on your computer where the files are stored. After changing the folder, the file list is reloaded, and you can use the checkboxes to select one or more files to import.

Select which files from the folder you wish to import as raw data.

Starting the import

When the format, files, and additional options have been set, you can start the import process by clicking the 'Finish' button on the last page of the wizard.

The file currently being processed is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, and the wizard shows a message box stating 'File(s) successfully imported as raw data file(s)' as soon as the process is complete. Click 'OK' to close the dialog, and the imported files will be centered in the map view (only if they contain position data). After importing raw data files, you can download a background map of the covered survey area using the built-in map downloading tool.

Click the "Finish" button to start the import process.

Checking the imported raw data file(s)

When the import is complete, you can right-click the generated raw data files and select "Analyze Data..." to inspect the imported values and timestamps. If the import did not complete successfully, refer to the 'Processing' tab of the activity view for more details on the error shown.
