User Defined Export Templates

An export template (*.popudt) is an XML document used by Delph INS Subsea to output data in a user defined text format. This process is implemented by the UdtExporter application and can be activated using a command prompt (outside of Delph INS Subsea).

It is composed of the following elements defined by some special tags:

> File Description: allows the user to identify its popudt file
> Data Source: defines the input Xpf fields from which to export data
> Header / Footer: optional tags to include some comments at the beginning or at the end of the file
> Spatial reference: used to define the system representation type (WGS84, etc.)
> Record: defines each data that will be exported to the text file. The record element is the central element of the popudt file and contain the following information:
Field: defines the data to output in a column
Format: optional field to define the format of the data
Coordinate transformation: if the record is a position, allows transforming the position from one coordinate frame to another
