| 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. |

| 26 | === Extract Echoes: === |
| 27 | |
| 28 | This tool can be used to create additional discrete points from the full waveform data. |
