OPTIONS

-F
format
Sets the format for the input swath data using MBIO integer format identifiers. This program uses the MBIO library and will read any swath format supported by MBIO. A list of the swath data formats currently supported by MBIO and their identifier values is given in the MBIO manual page. Default: format = 11.
-H
This "help" flag cause the program to print out a description of its operation and then exit immediately.
-I
filename
Sets the input filename. If format > 0 (set with the -F option) then the swath data contained in infile is read and processed. If format < 0, then infile is assumed to be an ascii file containing a list of the input swath data files to be processed and their formats. The program will read the data in each one of these files. In the infile file, each data file should be followed by a data format identifier, e.g.:
        datafile1 11

        datafile2 24

This program uses the MBIO library and will read any swath format supported by MBIO. A list of the swath data formats currently supported by MBIO and their identifier values is given in the MBIO manual page. Default: infile = "datalist.mb-1".
-V
The -V option causes mbroutetime to print out status messages.

 

EXAMPLES

Suppose you are going to run the MBARI Mapping AUV on the Coaxial Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. You have created a route file called Coaxial2009_1v3.rte using mbgrdviz. In order to create an MBARI AUV mission script for mission beginning with a spiral descent to an altitude of 50 m, followed by a survey run at a 75 m altitude, the following will suffice:
        mbroutetime -I Coaxial2009_1v3.rte              -A75/30/75 -B1                  -G0 -MSL -N50 -R220/83/0.3  -O Coaxial2009_1v3.cfg  -S1.5 -L30 -W100 -V

The resulting mission script has the following header:
