Apex sidescan to XTF
« on: November 15, 2023, 05:28:30 PM »
Evening all,
Looking for a way to share sidescan data to multiple colleagues who have software to read XRF files.

I normally use reefmaster sonar viewer for most uses, tried autochart PC but it was not as user friendly. Reefmaster Sonar viewer does not convert or export the files as far as I can see.

Son2XTF does not convert Apex SI files and says they are not valid files.
Humviewer does not recognise the files and complains that they are not valid 64 byte files
Humminbird PC ( found and old copy) and does not recognise the side scan files
Tried the following programs but none of these seem to open the native .DAT or .SON files .

Humfinder
HBSI convertor
Open Side Scan
Imagenex Yellow fin
Imagenex Black fin
Deepvision FV

Could not get Open sidescan to work. can not find any copies of DrDepth.

Any suggestions to either view these files using a 'free' viewer, or converting to XTF to be able to distribute without having to buy multiple licences?

Try HummSucker App
I know the Solix/Apex DAT file is different from the Helix ones.
I once converted a Solix DAT for somebody to be readable for most sw. Try to find it anywhere here.
