Correlation Magnitude, Echo Intensity, Percent-Good, and Status Data Format
The number of depth cells is set by the
WN command
.
Correlation magnitude data give the magnitude of the normalized echo autocorrelation at the lag used for
estimating the Doppler phase change. The H-ADCP represents this magnitude by a linear scale between 0
and 255, where 255 is perfect correlation (i.e., a solid target). A value of zero indicates bad correlation val-
ues.

Cells 2 – 128 (if used) These fields store correlation magnitude data for depth cells 2 through 128 (depend-
ing on the WN-command) for all three beams. These fields follow the same format as
listed above for depth cell 1.
