LayerType
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| This is the current layer type. |
Surface
Bottom
Pelagic |
|
VT_BSTR |
N/A |
| Example: |
Surface |
Range
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| If the depth range is selected to be individual for each channel, this parameter sets the range for specified channel. |
<0,10000> |
m |
VT_I4 |
N/A |
| Example: |
500 |
RangeStart
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| This is the start range for the selected channel. |
<0,10000> |
m |
VT_I4 |
N/A |
| Example: |
10 |
MinTSValue
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| This is the Minimum Target Strength (TS) Value, also known as Minimum Threshold. |
<-120,50> |
dB |
VT_R8 |
N/A |
| Example: |
–50.0 |
| This is a parameter setting in Single Target Detection dialog box. The target strength (TS) for a single target must exceed this threshold (in dB) to be accepted. This setting applies to both CW and FM operation. |
MinEchoLength
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| This is the Minimum Echo Length, |
<0,20> |
|
VT_R8 |
N/A |
| Example: |
0.8 |
| This is a parameter setting in Single Target Detection dialog box. If you set Minimum Echo Length to 0.8, all echoes shorter than 0.8 times the length of the transmitted pulse will be deleted. This setting only applies to CW operation. |
MaxEchoLength
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| This is the Maximum Echo Length. |
<0,20> |
|
VT_R8 |
N/A |
| Example: |
1.8 |
| This is a parameter setting in Single Target Detection dialog box. If you set Maximum Echo Length to 1.8, all echoes longer than 1.8 times the length of the transmitted pulse will be deleted. This setting only applies to CW operation. |
MaxGainCompensation
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| This is the Maximum Gain Compensation. |
<0,12> |
|
VT_R8 |
N/A |
| Example: |
6.0 |
| This is a parameter setting in Single Target Detection dialog box. Targets located off centre will offer weaker echoes due to the beam properties. The EK80 system automatically compensates for this using a mathematical model, and you can manually control the effect of this algorithm
by defining a maximum gain value. This setting applies to both CW and FM operation. |
MaxPhaseDeviation
| Description |
Range |
Unit |
Type |
R/O |
| This is the Maximum Phase Deviation. |
<0,100> |
|
VT_R8 |
N/A |
| Example: |
8.0 |
| This is a parameter setting in Single Target Detection dialog box. Several single targets occurring at the same range will give you echoes in different parts of the beam’s cross section. To remove the bad targets, the angle (phase) between the samples in the echo are measured. If the angle is too large, the echoes are deleted. This setting applies to both CW and FM operation. |
