Using live viewing templates

When a new EV file is automatically created during live viewing, Echoview scans for live viewing templates in the Live viewing templates folder.

Echoview will search for a template with the following name: Equipment-Datatype.EV

Where:

Equipment

is the equipment name the Echolog application is configured with. This defaults to the name of the computer on which Echolog is running but can be set to another value in the Echolog application if desired. If no suitably named template is found, Echoview will try again using "Default" as the equipment name.

Datatype

is either:

500	For Echolog 500
80	For Echolog and Echolog 80* broadcasting Simrad EK80 .raw files
EK8	For Echolog broadcasting *.EK5 survey files from received Simrad EK80 software subscription data
60-RAW	For Echolog and Echolog 60* broadcasting raw data (.raw files)
DIDSON	For Echolog broadcasting Sound Metrics DIDSON .ddf data files
ARIS	For Echolog broadcasting Sound Metrics ARIS .aris data files
DT4	For Echolog broadcasting BioSonics .dt4 data files
M3	For Echolog broadcasting Kongsberg Mesotech M3/Flexview beamformed .imb/.nnn data files
60-EK6	For Echolog 60* broadcasting compressed data .ek60 files
SM	For Echolog SM broadcasting uncompressed data (.raw/.bfm/.bmf/.nnn files)
SM-COMP	For Echolog SM broadcasting compressed data (.sm2000 files)

Note: *Echolog 60 and Echolog 80 are no longer installed post Echoview 10. If you require them, please contact support@echoview.com.

If a suitable live viewing template is not found, Echoview will create an EV file automatically using default settings.

One EV file will be created and opened for each instance of Echolog detected on the network.

Create a live viewing template by saving an EV file in the templates folder with a name as described above. This EV file and the associated workspace file will then be available as a template in the future. If a workspace file is present when the template is used, the stored workspace will be used (instead of displaying the Filesets window).
