Offset settings and use of External compass
shows how the different Offset settings and External compass is used inside the sensor to improve the
measurement. White coloured boxes are sensor input either from External compass or internal measurements. Yellow
coloured boxes are property setting set by the operator if enabled. Blue boxes are the internal processing and green
boxes are Data Output from the sensor. See
for how to use external compass. Offset settings and external
compass settings are listed in

Parameter Output
The sensor will always output at least 3 wave parameters
Significant Wave Height H
m0
, Wave Peak Direction and
Wave Peak Period
. These three parameters cannot be switched off. The rest of the parameters can be configured by
the user by selecting the corresponding property. If using AADI Real-Time Collector each property can be selected or
deselected in the
Sensor Configuration
menu. If using terminal software each parameter can be selected by sending
the corresponding property and value to the sensor using a set Property(Value) command. The alternative for value
depends on the mode.
To enable output of
Mean Spreading Angle
we need to send the following command:
In
AiCaP mode:
set Mean Spreading Angle Output( Storage)
In
Smart Terminal
and
AADI Real-Time mode:
set Mean Spreading Angle Output(Output)
