26 Sea Scan® Survey Software Manual
Start Sea Scan® Survey and choose <Chart Management> from the <Tools> menu. This
will open the Cell Manager program. The cell manager starts by asking the location of the
chart database (typically C:\ProgramFiles\Marine Sonic Technology, Ltd\Sea Scan Survey
\LSENC\) for the licensed charts. You can browse to the folder using the button.
After you have entered the correct folder, you will see "Valid chart folder" in the window.
Click <OK>, then click the <Install Exchange Set> button. This will open the ENC Chart
Management Window.
Choose the <Path to the root folder of the Exchange Set> button. Browse to the location
where your charts are stored. This is probably your CD/DVD drive. You can browse to the
location by using the button. If it is a valid location, the name of the chart set will appear
below the path. If it is not, the program says "Not an exchange set" below the path. Click
the <Next> button.
Next, choose the installation options. It is generally a good idea to check all of them: Pause
on Error, Install Permits (required), and Delete old withdrawn cells (to prevent buildup of
unused data). Click the <Next> button.
The last step before the installation process begins is to select the permit file. This file
should be a text file that the chart distributor sent you when you purchased the charts. It is
usually called "permit.txt." Click the <ellipse (...)> button to browse to the location where
you stored the permit file. When a valid permit file is chosen, the application will indicate it
by displaying the permit data and version.
Click the <Next> button to begin installation of the permits. When the permits have been
installed, click the <Next> button. The application will now begin to install the chart sets.
Close the application when it has completed installing the chart set or click the <Install
Exchange Set> button again to install another chart set.
TIP: You may need to repeat this process for more than one chart set. In fact, you may
have to perform these actions for each CD.
Now that the exchange set has been installed, it is ready for use in Sea Scan® Survey. If the chart
background does not update properly, it may be necessary to close Sea Scan
it.
Deleting Charts
You may want to delete charts at some point in time. To delete charts,
Start by opening the Chart Management application from the <Tools> menu in Sea Scan®
Survey.
Choose the unlicensed chart database folder as instructed above. Then, use the mouse to
select the charts you wish to delete.
