If you want to output the sonar data to XYZ format, check this box. A Save As dialogue will pop up for you to
select the location and name of the data you want to save.
The XYZ ASCII output is an easy to read corrected version of the bathymetry data computed by the WASSP
system. This form can be read by GIS packages. The data created is as processed by WASSP so includes any
