GAPS - User Guide
The speed profile is pre-processed when uploaded. This processing removes outliers and
duplicated values, sorts the data in a depth growing order and optimizes the number of couples
to 55 for computing purposes without altering the accuracy of the profile.
5.2.2 ENTERING MANUALLY A PROFILE
The depth and velocity couples are entered directly in the array. The [tab] key moves the
cursor from one cell to another. Messages, warnings and errors provide guidance.
