9.2. Automated Beam Check
Duplicate of 6.4 Automated Beam Check
The Automated Beam Check function allows the user to perform a Beam Check in the
region of the measurement location before data collection starts. The automated beam
check performs a number of quality control checks on the data collected to determine if
the flow conditions are suitable for velocity measurements. The data displayed
graphically during the Automated BeamCheck is a time series of the Quality Control
parameters.
The Automated BeamCheck is an automated version of Beam Check function
described in 6.3 Beam Check. In the Original FlowTracker, the Automated Beam
Check was known as “Auto QC Test”.
