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. Duration: The duration of the course is 3 days, from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M., including breaks. Completion: Upon completion, a dedicated EIVA Training Certificate will be issued.
