Edit previously recorded calibration data
Editing calibration data after a successful calibration enhances the results of scientific surveys using the ME70.
Context
This procedure explains how to import a previously recorded calibration set to view and – if necessary – make changes to the target strength data. Adjusting previously recorded calibration data, involves suspending or activating chosen hits. If you do this on the ME70 Processor Unit, you can save the data and update the relevant beam mode immediately.
Tip
You can also edit the calibration data “offline” on another computer. You must then copy the calibration XML file to the other computer, do the editing, and then copy is back to the ME70 Processor Unit. Once back, you must start the Calibration dialog box, open the XML file, run it, and save it one more time to update the beam mode.
Procedure
1 Start the ME70 program in “inactive”mode.
The mode of the ME70 program is visible in the Setup menu.
2 On the Setup menu, select Calibration.

3 Select File in the Calibration menu system.
Select the replay XML file from the chosen calibration you want to edit or examine.
4 Open the Setup menu.
Check range limits and sphere
5 Select Start in the Calibration menu system.
This will load the calibration data into the calibration system.
6 Select Stop in the Calibration menu system.
This is done when the calibration data has been loaded.
7 Open the TS Data tab in the Numerical information field.
Suspend invalid data for each beam in this view.
8 Select Save As in the Calibration menu.
Generate new files. This stores the edited data. Load the coefficients into the mode.
