Is there a way to enter manual soundings in Hydromagic?

There are two ways to enter manual soundings in Hydromagic. When you want to add depth measurements along the shoreline, we recommend generating a boundary and enter depth or elevations to the points forming the boundary:

1. Generate a boundary as explained here: https://www.eye4software.com/hydromagic/documentation/manual/map-display/boundaries/
2. When finished, located the boundary in the ôProject Explorerö and right-click on it to open the context menu. From the context menu select ôEdit Boundaryàö.
3. In the dialog which appears, enable the ôInclude the elevation of this boundary in matrix generationö. The boundary will now appear in green instead of red.
4. Enter depth or elevation values in the 3rd column of the data grid. When finished click the ôOKö button.

When you generate a matrix, be sure to select this boundary in matrix generation tools and the shoreline depths will be included when generating a depth or elevation matrix. When entering random depth measurements at random places, you can use a different approach:

1. Right-click the ôSoundingsö folder in the ôProject Explorerö and select the ôManage Soundingsàö option from the context or popup menu.
2. In the ôSounding Managerö, click the second button from the left labelled: ôNew Soundingö.
3. When needed, modify the name of the sounding in the ôEdit Soundingö dialog and click ôOKö.
4. Verify that the newly generated sounding is set to ôActiveö. If not, select it and click the ôActivate Soundingö button.
5. Close the ôSounding Managerö by clicking the ôOKö button.
6. You can now right-click the map at the position you want to add a new sounding point. To do so, select the ôAdd Sounding Dataàö option from the popup menu which appears when you right-click the map.
7. In the ôPing Dataö dialog you can enter the manually measured depth in the ôCorr. Depth (Hi)ö and ôCorr. Depth (Lo)ö fields. The latter is only required when combining the data with dual frequency echosounder measurements. Click ôOKö to store the sounding data.
8. Repeat from step ô6ö until you added all depth measurements.
