14 Position marker B at Bpos km. View the trace around
marker B and zoom the trace around marker B to 2 km/
Div and 1 dB/Div.
The value for Bpos is given in Table 2, Table 3, or Table
4, depending on the module you use.

Note results in test record 15 Note the value of the sample spacing, “Samp.Dist.”.
Calculate the number of peak samples (dots) from the
viewed distance V divided by the sample spacing.
Calculate 2% thereof.
To get 98% Noise Level disregard 2% of the largest noise
peaks samples (dots).
Example: PW = 10
µs → V = 50km, sample spacing =
10.28 m.
→ number of peak samples = 50 km / 10.28 m = 4863
→ 2% thereof = 97.
16 Check the calculated 2% of the highest peak samples
within the viewed distance V: that is from Bpos to Vend
according to the values given in Table 2, Table 3, or
Table 4.
NOTE To check out and disregard the 2% of the highest peak
samples you need to zoom in further to get dots.You may
have to change the color of the trace to view them more
clearly.
Reposition marker B 17 Position marker B at a point on the trace that equals
the 98% Noise Level
