Instruction manual Wav WaveGuide Server
Inspect the quality of the measurements.
The system starts up by itself. No items has to be set before useful information will become available. The first
step is the inspection of the quality of the measurements.
1. Check the system info page.
The lowest line gives the radar status. Communication must give OK and the numbers of performed and
invalid measurements gives an indication of the performance. The number of invalid measurements is
normally around 0.1 ‰.
•
If the communication is not OK, this indicates that the WaveGuide Server started correctly but
there is no connection with the radar. Check the cabling.
•
If the communication is OK and the temperature is given but the number of invalid
measurements is to high, this indicates that the cabling is correct, the WGS communicates correct
with the radar but the radar measurements are not good enough.
2. Check the raw data in the raw data page. The measured raw data can be presented in periods of 1, 3 and
10 minutes. If there are gaps in the data or large spikes the measurements are disturbed, inspect the
reflection diagram
3. Check the reflection diagram. The reflection diagram is a spectral representation of one measurement of
