Using live viewing templates

When a new EV file is automatically created during live viewing, Echoview will check for suitable 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

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/.<em>nnn</em> 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 the Echoview support team (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.

To create a live viewing template, save an EV file to 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).

See About Templates for further information.
