Add observed tides

You can download the tide files of Saint John Harbour at: http://www.meds-sdmm.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/meds/Databases/TWL/TWL_station_list_e.asp?user=MEDS&region=ATL&tst=1

Then you have to edit the downloaded file in the right order, it should look like this:

150 0 0 6.75

When you are editing in Excel save it as MS DOS text. Make sure there are no space behind, or after saving anything added to the file. Another problem can be that by converting the values into columns, single values getting a Tilde ~ (for example single value is 2 or 3.. non single 2.345)

The next step is to binary the textfile

binTide -year 2008 JD150.txt JD150.bin

While processing is is obvious if it did work or not..

You can also check the file by using navedit: navedit JD150.bin

It will read one line of the file, when it can't read a line there is something wrong with your textfile.

Now you are ready to merge the tide, don't worry you can do this over and over again because it overwrites the tide file.

mergeTide -tide tide/JD???.bin merged/JD???/00*.merged

Make Grid

weigh_grid dtm/sand merged/JD149_sand/00*.merged

addSUN dtm/sand

Swathed 2dtool

Swathed –image dtm/harbout.sun_315 merged/JD1{16,20,21,22,23,50}/*.merged

left click draw a subset box, will automatically load in the (subset) viewer.

You cannot change the angle of the subset bos in the 2dtool, but you can in the svptool

In the 2dtool you can edit the data (same as what you can do in HIPS)

Right click in DTM draw a box (just like in patch test)
