Use compensated data (7058)

1. Select this option to use compensated intensity data instead of raw data.

If no compensated data is found on a line, the line will not be used for the beam pattern.

Options

Surface

The path to the surface used to compute the local bottom slope used in the calculations of real incidence angle and ensonified area. The default elevation band will be used.

If surface is not set the processed bathymetry will be used by default.

1. Select the check box to enable the Browse button.

2. Browse to and select a surface.

Local Absorption

Correction for transmission loss using temperature and salinity values.

1. Set temperature value in degrees. Default value is 8.00

Transducer1

This field displays the angle from nadir values set for Transducer1 in Port and Starboard fields.

1. Set values in degrees of the angle to port from nadir.

2. Set values in degrees of the angle to starboard from nadir.

Transducer2
