PT7 RSSI Bandwidth Test
Criteria for failure
. Any one of the following conditions will flag failure for the beam:
•
Nominal noise floor <20 or >60
•
Counts for ms 1 through 4 not rising
•
9th ms sample not between 70 and 100% of nominal counts
To verify a RSSI failure, re-run the PT7 test in a different location and change the orientation 180 degrees
to determine if any external interference is an issue: Even try running PT7 at a different time of day to
eliminate powerful radio transmitters.
The ADCP should be in non-moving water during this test to get valid test results.
