Configure NaviPac with relevant instruments, geodesy, objects etc. Run various programs for different tasks (calibration, documentation, QA). Log survey data for different tasks and in different formats. Start, configure and use the Helmsman s Display program. Create and manipulate waypoints and runlines. Use different map background formats. Control the logging process from the Helmsman s Display. Start and configure the Online3D utility. Target Group: The course is aimed towards surveyors who have some experience with offshore survey work and basic knowledge of hydrographic surveying. Entry Level: No prior knowledge of the EIVA software solutions is required. The language of instruction is English.

10 The EIVA Download site gives users the possibility to download latest versions and patches of the various software packages. A user can sign up for login access and can subsequently receive an notification when releases occur on the various folders. Download & Knowledgebase In the Knowledgebase, FAQ from the EIVA user community, are listed and organized relative subjective items like: software package, popularity, age (latest addition) etc. Users are also given the opportunity to submit a question that will then be upgraded and included in the knowledgebase.

11 Training & Documentation Site The Training & Documentation site contains all documentation and training material associated with the EIVA Softand Hardware. It should therefore be installed whenever installing the EIVA software (is not a requirement for the proper functioning of the associated software. The documentation includes all on-line help, manuals, powerpoints, reports, papers, training documents available for the EIVA software packages as well as for the EIVA hardware. The site is designed to be executed in off-line mode (with no connection to the Internet), however some of the items will only provide optimum functionality if an Internet connection has been established. Observe that the site can also be reached at the EIVA Website

12 Training & Documentation Site II The Training & Documentation site is subdivided into subpages that relate to the different modules that constitute EIVA NaviSuite. The NaviPac page provides two additional subpages: Modules Interfaces In the Modules subpage, all documentation related to the use of the different modules included in NaviPac, such as: Tug Management Module (highlighted here) 2D Seismic Module Windmill Module

13 Software Installation The Software Installer lists the software packages in the sequence shown to the left. During installation, always remember to use default settings. The recommended sequence for the NaviPac installation is: 1. NaviPac version (includes WIBU key software protection driver in proper version (32 or 64 bit)) 2. Training Documents (Training Site, version) Re-booting of the computer must be done prior to using NaviPac.

14 File structure (EIVAHOME) and Location of Files When installing NaviPac, an environment variable, EIVAHOME is generated. This environment variable is used in connection with the execution of NaviPac. By default the environment variable is: C:\EIVA\NaviPac Filestructure in $EIVAHOME bin bin\dll Db Setup WinNT Log Manuals Executables Sensor interpreters (DLL s) Gensetup and onlsetup DB files Various ASCII Setup files NAVIPAC.INI (or \Windows) Debug logging directory Copy of most recent manuals Release notes Application release notes Help Runlines Waypoints Displaylines Testdata Others Various help files Runlines Folder Waypoints Folder Displaylines Folder DTMs (Digital Terrain Models), USBL calibration files etc. Various default data catalogues
