For example, if an acoustic pulse takes 0.001 seconds to return to the ISA500 after being sent,
we can calculate its round-trip travel distance as:
Distance
=
Speed x Time
=
1,500 x 0.001
=
1.5m
Therefore, the total distance the sound has travelled is 1.5m (journey to the member
back wall + journey back from the member back wall).
To calculate the distance measured, we simply half this value.
i.e. the range to the other side of the member is 0.75m.
