IMS Editor

The IMS Editor is Windows-based software primarily used by measurers to record, store, and distribute IMS measurement data. It is compatible with the ORC Manager software used by rating officers for production of ORC certificates, as well as its designer's version that includes complete calculations using the ORC VPP (Velocity Prediction Program).

The IMS Editor covers all measurements of the International Measurement System (IMS):  sail and measurement inventories, rig, flotation, etc. It can be used to record complete or partial measurement data, including the ability to "merge" measured data with already existing. The measurer can print the data as a formal measurement record and submit them digitally as a data file (.dxt) to the rating office.

For simulation and testing purposes, the software is also used by owners and project managers to submit data to designers, who then use them as input for the ORC VPP software.

The latest 2025 version includes:

• Added "checkstays" field.
• Improvements in data sheet.
• Various minor fixes and improvements

IMS Editor is also accessible in ORC Sailor Services.
