Test PINGMapper
Test PINGMapper on sample datasets.
Once you have installed PING-Mapper, the recommended way to verify the installation is to use PINGWizard to process the included example datasets. The first is a small dataset collected in Marble Canyon, AZ, USA. This is the fastest way to see if the software is performing as expected. A second test can be carried out on a large. The large dataset is included to see how the software performs on a typical sonar recording.
