UXO Marine

The UXO Marine extension provides a comprehensive workflow and toolset for processing, detecting, and analyzing marine magnetic data to support effective site investigation surveys. It accommodates data from both individual sensors and multi-sensor arrays, including gradient systems such as the Marine Magnetics SeaQuest (2- to 4-sensor configurations) and the Geometrics TVG. These tools enable the conversion of large volumes of magnetic data into accurate target detection, mapping, and analysis results.

UXO Marine also includes quality assurance and quality control capabilities, both onboard and post-survey.

UXO Marine topics are accessed through UXO Help, which is separate from the Oasis montaj Help system.

Open a New Project

Working in Oasis montaj requires a project file (*.gpf). A project encompasses all items in your workspace, including:

  • Data files (for example, databases, grids, maps, voxels, geosurfaces, and 3D views)

  • Visualization tools (for example, histograms and scatter plots)

  • Project settings, including the menus currently displayed

This structure ensures that your working environment is saved and can be easily restored.

To begin working with the UXO Marine extension, open a new project and then load the corresponding menus.

  1. On the Project menu, select New. The New Project dialog opens.

    Alternatively, select Create new project from the startup dialog when you launch Oasis montaj.

  2. In the New Project dialog, specify the name and location for your project file (*.gpf), then click Save.

  3. The new project opens, enabling the main menus, toolbar icons, and the Project Explorer. These visual indicators confirm that the system is ready for use.

Load the Menus

  1. On the Project menu, select Manage Menus, or click the Manage Menus icon on the Project Explorer toolbar. The Manage Menus dialog opens.

  2. Expand the Extensions node, select UXO Marine, and click OK. The related menus are added to the main menu bar.

The menu system provides quick access to a variety of tools and guides you through key processing and interpretation workflows.

To automatically load these menus in future projects, specify them in the Default menus field of the General Settings dialog.

Accessing Help

Once the UXO Marine menus are loaded, click the Help button in any dialog opened from these menu items:

  • The reference topic for the current dialog is displayed.

  • Use the Help Topics tab to navigate to other topics of interest.

  • Use the Search tab to find specific topics by entering keywords.

The UXO Marine menu system is divided into three main menus:

  • UXO-Marine Grad
  • UXO-Marine Mag
  • UXO-Marine Sonar Utilities
