3.4.8.3 Segmented data output
The device records data over an azimuth range of 360°. The data acquired within a
360° rotation for all scan layers are referred to below as a frame. For data output, a
frame is divided into segments each of which contain the data of all scan layers for a
smaller azimuth interval.
In this case it is important to note that a segment defines a temporally related portion
of the data which does not (necessarily) have to be a spatially related portion of the
data, i.e., the azimuth range of each scan layer in a segment may be different.
The following figure shows 12 segments each covering a range of 30°. The segment i is
recorded in the time interval [t_(i-1),t_i], which means the motor rotates by 30° during
that time interval.
