| | 2 | = Viewing Full Waveform Data in !TerraScan = |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | In order to view the full waveform data you first need to create trajectory files. With the !RawLaser data loaded in ALSPP select Utilities > Generate trj files. This creates an individual trajectory file for each flightline. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | In !TerraScan, select Manage Trajectories ( /// icon) from the General tool bar. Under File > Set Directory select the location of the trj files. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | Alternatively you can use the .sol file. Under Manage Trajectories > File > Import Files > ***.sol. This creates a .trj covering the entire project (which is included with the delivery). |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | Load in a full waveform .LAS files. It is advisable to create a small fence and only load points inside the fence as !TerraScan can't seem to cope with entire flightlines. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | From the main !TerraScan window select Flightline > Deduce Using Time. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | On the main !TerraScan toolbox select View Waveform Data to open the waveform viewer (the sideways barchart icon, on the bottom right of the Main toolbar). Under Settings > Display Settings you can adjust how the wave is viewed by varying maximum value (x axis) or sample height (y axis). |

| | 17 | === !WaveForm Extractions: === |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | The PI may request waveform extractions to be included with the delivery. These are ASCII files (one file per return) containing the full waveform information. |

| | 21 | * Draw a fence around the area of interest |
| | 22 | * Open the View Waveform Data window |
| | 23 | * File > Save As Text |

| | 26 | === Extract Echoes: === |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | This tool can be used to create additional discrete points from the full waveform data. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | * Draw a fence around the area of interest |
| | 31 | * Select Extract Echoes from the waveform toolbar |
