All of the old tools and capabilities are still part of the distribution. The lists of data files used by gridding and plotting programs can now be recursive, making it simpler to manage data from many different surveys. Automatic format identification. MB-System programs will now attempt to automatically identify the swath data format based on the filename suffix. Extended inf files.
Several programs can parse inf files, if they exist, to quickly obtain data locations or ranges.
This feature speeds operations such as gridding, mosaicing, and automated plotting. This new tool allows users to adjust poorly navigated surveys by matching features in overlapping swathes. It is particularly useful for processing surveys conducted from submerged platforms. This new tool performs a variety of processing tasks and produces a single output processed swath data file. The program mbprocess can apply bathymetry edits from mbedit and mbclean, navigation edits from mbnavedit, sound velocity profile changes from mbvelocitytool, and a variety of other corrections.
