1.0 Introduction

Perspective uses the XML format for storing and reading information. Before processing

bathymetry data it is important to create XML files for the following ancillary data used

during bathymetry processing:

1. Sound Velocity Profiles

2. Raw Tide Gauge Data

3. Squat Tables

The XML files are created with Triton’s XML Utilities application shown below.

To launch the XML Utilities application, click on the toolbar button shown right.

This dialog consists of menu options for opening and saving files, fields to manually enter

the date and location (if not extracted from the parsed data), and a small window to

display a graph of the input data.
