Trimble Releases Marine Survey Software for Windows
SUNNYVALE, CA, December 2, 1997 -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced
today HYDROproT, its next generation of marine survey software for data
collection and analysis. The WindowsT-based software is an easy-to-use
solution for hydrographic surveying, dredging and resource exploration.
Designed with superior performance and efficiency in mind, HYDROpro
allows users to increase productivity on even the most difficult marine
survey projects.
Building on a decade of development and industry-based experience, the
HYDROpro combines the strengths of its predecessor-the HYDROT software -
with the latest advances in software technology.
HYDROpro operates on both Windows 95 and NT. It offers an easy-to-use
graphical interface and flexible configuration allowing immediate gain
with minimal training. The software supports multiple sensor inputs,
ranging from heading sensors to tide gauges and echo sounders. Combined
with Trimble's popular DGPS or RTK receivers, it provides precise 3D
positioning in real-time. HYDROpro software also uses advanced
time-stamping for precise data synchronization. All data is stored in a
single Microsoft Access database file to allow for more efficient file
management. The flexible operation of HYDROpro allows any number of
vessels and guidance objects (lines, routes and targets) to be monitored
from a single location or across a network. Background files can be
displayed graphically to show position in relation to guidance objects,
coastal features, navigation aids and hazard areas.
The simple file structure and graphical editors allow depth and tide
data to be filtered, edited and integrated more efficiently. Included in
the HYDROpro software are the post-processing and plotting modules;
ContourT , ProfileT , VolumeT and DigitizeT. Together with the on-line
navigation software, these modules make the HYDROpro software one of the
most comprehensive hydrographic surveying packages.
HYDROpro is available now from Trimble's worldwide dealer network.
