New CARIS SVP importer

Amazingly CARIS HIPS/SIPS has never included a GUI data parser for importing raw SVP data into HIPS. Programmatically quite simple, all online hydrographic acquisition software packages and most other data processing packages have this facility.

Anyone using MBES data, therefore, always has to go through the painstaking task of butchering the files in text editors or write their own macros in order to get the data to fit the CARIS format. Frustrating - I know from experience - especially on jobs where SVP changes frequently both temporally and spatially, with hundreds of SVPs needing conversion. Annoying, especially as all metadata (bar the position) is usually logged in the raw file headers.

Hence my app - the CARIS SVP Importer. If you need an importer for your SVP model, let me know and I may be able to help :-)
