YoNav is the USGS developed software package that provides real-time navigation and vessel steering services for marine geophysical and geological surveys. YoNav is a distributed client server application that runs on Windows NT 4.0 or later. The YoNav design includes a server application that provides the low level hardware interface on one side and a sockets interface to one or more client applications.
More information on YoNav's Features.
The YoNav Sockets server is a Windows Sockets based application that allows various clients on a TCP/IP network to request and (in some cases) set various navigation parameters that affect the operation of the YoNav server engine.
More information on the YoNav Sockets Server.
The YoNav Seismic server is a special derived version of the original YoNav Sockets server that supports generating external trigger events based on precise time or precise distance down a survey line. The external trigger events are typically used to trigger air-gun or other seismic source hardware. Because of the special counter-timer hardware requirements of the external triggering, this version is distributed separately.
The YoNav Map based client application is the oldest of all of the YoNav client applications. YoNav Map is a highly interactive map based Windows NT application that provides visual feedback and display of the vessel relative to survey lines, survey regions and background maps.
