Measurement Parameters
Discharge unit
Discharge unit
– The measurement unit used to report the measured discharge value.
Velocity unit
Velocity unit
– The measurement unit used to report the measured velocity value. For NMEA protocol
which is used over RS-232 connection, the velocity is reported as an integer value. To preserve higher
precision with integer numbers, the measured velocity will be multiplied by 10 for m/s, km/h, mph, fps
and fpm when being transferred over RS-232. When mm/s and cm/s units are used, the measured
values will not be multiplied by 10. The Geolux Instrument Configurator PC application internally handles
the multiplication factor which is used over RS-232 protocol, and it displays the correct values to the
user.
Level unit
Level unit
– The measurement unit used to report the measured level value. The default measurement
unit is millimetres. When changing the measurement unit, it’s important to make sure that other
parameters which depend on the measurement unit (such as active zone parameters) are also changed
to the new unit.
PGA sensitivity
PGA sensitivity
– This parameter limits the maximum gain (amplification level) of the internal
programable gain amplifier. It is strongly recommended to use the default value 8, which allows the
internal signal amplifier to use the maximum gain when the reflected radar signal is very low. Setting
this value to a lower value is used only when the instrument is mounted very close to the water surface,
typically less than 1 metre, and in that case this parameter should be set to a value of 4 or 5.
Velocity min. and Velocity max.
Velocity min.
- This parameter is used for setting up the minimum velocity value of interest.
Velocity max.
- This parameter is used for setting up the maximum velocity value of interest.
