A1.9 Coverage calculations
Single W8 column
Here is an example of a 1-wide, 3 deep column of Wavefront W8s.
The horizontal coverage is, of course, that of a single W8 ie 55º.
The vertical coverage of a W8 cluster can be calculated as follows:
Vertical coverage of a W8 = the vertical coverage of a single W8 (30º) + the sum
of all the vertical splay angles
For a 3-deep W8 cluster with 15º vertical splay angles = 30º+15º+15º = 60º
For a 3-deep W8 cluster with 20º vertical splay angles = 30º+20º+20º = 70º
