 Scope of the NaviPac Course
Learning Objectives: The course is structured around a general curriculum with the aim being to furnish the trainees with
a broad understanding of the EIVA NaviPac online data acquisition and navigation software solution and make them
confident it on a vessel. To enhance this, typical construction support and simple acquisition scenarios are used as
examples throughout the training. For the most part, the course is conducted as hands-on training, thus taking advantage
of the comprehensive simulation functionalities that have been implemented into the NaviPac software solution.
By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:
 Install the relevant NaviSuite software packages.
 Understand the basic architecture of NaviPac.
 Configure NaviPac with relevant instruments, geodesy, objects etc.
 Run various programs for different tasks (calibration, documentation, QA).
 Log survey data for different tasks and in different formats.
 Start, configure and use the Helmsman’s Display program.
 Create and manipulate waypoints and runlines.
 Use different map background formats.
 Control the logging process from the Helmsman’s Display.
 Start and configure the Online3D utility.

Target Group: The course is aimed towards surveyors who have some experience with offshore survey work and basic
knowledge of hydrographic surveying.

Entry Level: No prior knowledge of the EIVA software solutions is required. The language of instruction is English.

Duration: The duration of the course is 3 days, from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M., including breaks.

Completion: Upon completion, a dedicated EIVA Training Certificate will be issued.

Training & Documentation Site
The Training & Documentation site
contains all documentation and training
material associated with the EIVA Soft-
and Hardware. It should therefore be
installed whenever installing the EIVA
software (is not a requirement for the
proper functioning of the associated
software.
The documentation includes all on-line
help, manuals, powerpoints, reports,
papers, training documents available for
the EIVA software packages as well as
for the EIVA hardware.
The site is designed to be executed in
off-line mode (with no connection to the
Internet), however some of the items
will only provide optimum functionality if
an Internet connection has been
established. Observe that the site can
also be reached at the EIVA Website

Training & Documentation Site II
The Training & Documentation
site is subdivided into subpages
that relate to the different
modules that constitute EIVA
NaviSuite.
The NaviPac page provides
two additional subpages:
• Modules
• Interfaces
In the Modules subpage, all
documentation related to the
use of the different modules
included in NaviPac, such as:
• ‘Tug Management Module
(highlighted here)
• 2D Seismic Module
• Windmill Module
Software Installation
The Software Installer lists the
software packages in the
sequence shown to the left.
During installation, always
remember to use default
settings. The recommended
sequence for the NaviPac
installation is:
1. NaviPac version (includes

protection driver in proper
version (32 or 64 bit))
2. Training Documents
(Training Site, version)
Re-booting of the computer
must be done prior to using
NaviPac.
 File structure (EIVAHOME) and Location of Files
When installing NaviPac, an environment variable,
EIVAHOME is generated. This environment variable is bin Executables
used in connection with the execution of NaviPac. By
bin\dll Sensor interpreters (DLL’s)
default the environment variable is: C:\EIVA\NaviPac
