Scope of NaviSuite Offline Nardoa Training (Pipe)Learning Objectives: The course is structured around a dedicated yet general curriculum with the aim being to furnish the trainees with a broad understanding of the EIVA NaviSuite offline software solutions and make them confident in using these software solutions in post-processing situations. The primary focus of the course is post-processing of pipeline inspection data. To enhance trainee competence and confidence, a wide range of typical pipeline-based hydrographic survey data, acquired using the EIVA NaviSuite online software solutions, is used to exemplify typical pipe based post-processing scenarios. For the most part, the course is conducted as hands-on training.

By the end of the course, trainees will be able to:

Install the relevant NaviSuite software solutions Understand the basic architecture of NaviEdit, NaviModel and NaviPlot Conduct editing of multi-beam and single beam data in a NaviEdit/NaviModel environment Conduct a patch test calibration in NaviModel/NaviEdit Use the S-CAN automatic cleaning tool Use the various DTM tools in NaviModel Conduct volume and area calculations in NaviModel Understand the concept of video integration in NaviModel Use the pipeline inspection tools in NaviModel Export data from NaviModel using generic as well as built-in tools Create simple plots in NaviPlot Create alignment sheets in NaviPlot using the Chart Layout Manager

Target Group: The course is aimed towards surveyors with some experience of offshore survey work and with a basic knowledge of hydrographic surveying.

Entry Level: Prior knowledge of the EIVA software solutions is recommended. The language of instruction in the course is English.

Duration: The duration of the course is 5 days, from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M., including breaks.

Completion: Upon completion, a dedicated EIVA Training Certificate will be issued.

Download & KnowledgebaseThe EIVA Downloadsite gives users thepossibility todownload latestversions andpatches of thevarious softwarepackages.

A user can sign upfor login accessand cansubsequentlyreceive an e-mailnotification whenreleases occur onthe various folders.

In the Knowledgebase, FAQ from theEIVA user community, are listed andorganized relative subjective items like:software package, popularity, age (latestaddition) etc.

Users are also given the opportunity tosubmit a question that will then beupgraded and included in theknowledgebase.

Training & Documentation SiteThe Training & Documentation sitecontains all documentation and trainingmaterial associated with the EIVA Soft-and Hardware. It should therefore beinstalled whenever installing the EIVAsoftware (is not a requirement for theproper functioning of the associatedsoftware.

The documentation includes all on-linehelp, manuals, powerpoints, reports,papers, training documents available forthe EIVA software packages as well asfor the EIVA hardware.

The site is designed to be executed inoff-line mode (with no connection to theInternet), however some of the itemswill only provide optimum functionality ifan Internet connection has beenestablished. Observe that the site canalso be reached at the EIVA Website

NaviModel Patch Testing

Patch Testing can be performed in NaviModel and in the Online3D application. In the latter case, no dongleis required.

A multibeam Patch Test calibration serves a dual purpose:a. To determine the mount angles of the multibeam transducer

relative to the three axes of the local coordinate system of the vessel/ROV. These three figures are often referred to as the roll-, pitch- and heading mount angles.

b. To confirm the relationship between the time-tagging on the multibeam data and the time-tagging on the position data. This figure is often referred to as the latency or as the time value.
