The time adjustment tool can be used to shift the timestamps in the raw data files with a specified amount. You can apply the shift to a selection of raw data files or raw data types, like position, depth, motion, tide, heading, speed or sound velocity. Most probably, you are going to use this tool for one of the following scenarios:
When data has been shifted in time, it is impossible for the "Sounding Wizard" to combine the data to generate soundings. This is especially true in cases where you want to apply a tide observation or post processing kinematic correction file on a dataset which has the timestamps wrong. This is where the time adjustment tool comes to the rescue.
The Time adjustment tool is part of the "Sounding Wizard" and can be found on the raw data processing tools page. To start the position editor, just click the "Time..." button in the "Time" section as shown below:
The time adjustment tool can be found on the data correction page of the "Sounding Wizard".
To apply a time shift, just enter the values for hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds and select the direction (forward to add the selected amount of time to the timestamps, or backward to subtract). With the "Select..." buttons you can select the raw data file(s) and raw data type(s) to apply the time adjustment to.
After changing the timestamp values of one or more raw data files, the changes are saved in the "Modified" raw data folder. This does not affect your original survey data.
Fix time(zone) setting errors with the time adjustment tool.
