HYPACK® Design

Background Files
HYPACK®'s powerful drawing engine can display background files in your design and survey and editing programs. Charts can be displayed at any rotation and scale.
  • AutoCAD DXF
  • Microstation DGN
  • S-57/S-63
  • OrthoTIF, GeoTIF
  • BSB, UKHO ARCS
  • Vector Product Format
  • ArcInfo SHP

Users can combine different formats; for example, it is possible to overlay construction drawings in DXF on top of an orthometric photo in TIF.

A majority of our clients want to be able to import their CAD/GIS information and display it in HYPACK® during survey design, data collection and generation of final products.

HYPACK® also provides several tools to export data files and project files to both DXF and Microstation DGN.

Planned Lines
HYPACK® allows users to quickly create planned survey lines to delineate their survey area.

In the LINE EDITOR, users can enter an initial line and then create a series of offset lines, in your choice of several patterns. Planned lines can be clipped to exactly fit your survey area using a border file. The can have 2 or more segments which may be either straight or curved.

HYPACK also includes routines with which users may import lines created in a CAD/GIS package (DXF or DGN).



The CHANNEL DESIGN program enables you to create planned lines by entering the channel geometry.

Users enter waypoints and side slope information for each toe line, waypoints and chainage of the centerline and any turning basin. CHANNEL DESIGN can then generate planned lines at user-defined intervals for your entire channel. Each line will contain the cross-sectional design profile at the section.

CHANNEL DESIGN has been recently upgraded to handle curved centerlines.

Depth Matrix
A Matrix file (*.MTX) allows you to display real time bottom coverage and to quickly display the bottom depth info in a color scheme of your selection.

MTX files can be filled with pre-existing survey data or can be filled in real time with single beam, multiple transducer or multibeam sounding info.

In post-processing, the MAPPER program allows you to select which depth is used to represent each ‘cell’ of the matrix:

  • Minimum depth
  • Maximum depth
  • Depth closest to cell center
  • Average depth
  • Median depth
  • Depth above or below strike value

Geodesy
HYPACK® allows you to quickly configure your geodetic parameters for each project.

  • National grids are pre-defined and available from a list.
  • National datum transformation models are available for the USA, UK and France.
  • Users can determine a 3- or 7-parameter transformation based on local test points.
  • All standard projections used in hydrographic surveying are available.
  • Users can also configure their parameters to utilize GPS on a local survey grid.
  • Entire projects can be converted from an old to a new geodetic basis.
