
The update interval should cover a reasonable time period (at least one
wave period or more) in order to provide meaningful statistics.

It is important to note that when the phase-averaging is selected to cover
the swash zone the number of data used in the averaging processes is
varying because of flooding/drying.

The “Start at wave No” is the number of the first where the computation is
initiated. The first wave is counted from when the water level crosses
(uncrossing) the still water level first time. Most often you should keep
the default value.
Output type
You can choose between following output types:

type 0: point series data (dfs0 file)

type 1: line series data (dfs1 file)

type 2: grid series data (dfs2 file)
For point series data (type 0) you can choose a number of different points in
each file.
You can view the results easily using the relevant MIKE Zero tools by clicking
on the “View” button.
