HUGO (Hydrographic Upgrade to Oceanis) Software Modules: User's Maintenance Manuals

Abstract

Abstract : Software modules for implementing drivers and menu tasks for system integration with the Hydrographic Upgrade to Oceanis (HUGO) are reported. The components comprising the HUGO system are the Harris 700 minicomputer, Megatek Whizzard 7200 graphic engine and Oracle Data Base Management System. The software is tailored specifically for the above system. The HUGO system is implemented as a combination Harris/VT100 configuration and a Harris/Megatek configuration. The Harris/VT100 configuration is operated from a VT100 terminal in a text mode and is comprised of shipboard software modules Hydrographic Post Time System (HPTS) converted to the Harris computer and interfaced to the Oracle Data Base Management System (DBMS). The converted modules will be used to load data into the DBMS and perform other tasks similar to shipboard operations. The Harris/Megatek configuration will operate in a graphics mode and be operated from any of three graphics work stations; the graphic stations will retrieve data from the DBMS, display the data and perform interactive edit operations. This User's and Maintenance Manual is presented in three sections: 1) Depth-Track/Contour Plot; 2) Tide Epoch Analysis; and 3) Interactive Graphics Analysis.
