Exporting regions log book data
Regions log files suitable to act as a log of a trip or transect can be exported from echograms.
To export logs for all the regions in an echogram, on the Echogram menu select Export, Regions, Log book...
To export logs for all the regions in a selection,
- make a selection using the Rectangle, Horizontal band or Vertical band tools (Selection tool buttons)
- from the shortcut menu select Export Selection, Regions log...
- Note that the export also includes regions in the echogram that overlap with the start and stop times of your selection.
If multiple classes (About region class) exist, Echoview will present the Export by Region - Select Classes dialog box for you to choose the classes to export.
