Vaisala RVP900 - Mp - Processing Options

The secondary SQI level is computed by multiplying the primary user-supplied SQI
threshold by the SLOPE, and adding the OFFSET. See 7.9.2 Tuning for Optimal Performance
(page 229).
Limits: SLOPE: 0.0 ... 2.0, OFFSET -2.0 ... 1.0
These parameters tune the phase whitening process for SZ(8/64) transmissions.
Whitening Parameters for Tx :SZ (8/64)

Max power mismatch across octants: 4.0 dB High power rejection threshold: 8.0

Mp — Processing Options
When RVP900 computes power spectra, the time series data are multiplied by a (real)
window before computing the Fourier Transform (DFT).
You can select the window through SOPRM word #10 0:User, or force a particular window:
• In the IRIS application, the setting 0:User refers to the window defined in the Setup
utility block RVP signal processing options.
• In the Ascope application, the setting 0:User enables the Spect Win button.
At RVP900 start up, 0:User refers to the settings saved in rvp9.conf block
opprm.filter bits 9,10,11.
Default Spectral Window- 0:User , 1:Rect, 2:Hamming, 3:Blackman : 0
The power spectra computed within RVP900 are normally not constrained to be powers of
two in length. Answer NO to reapply the constraint to mimic the behavior of older
processors
Allow continuous sizes for power spectra: YES
Spectrum Width
The following parameters control whether R0/R1/R2 or R0/R1 estimates are used to
compute the spectrum width (see 7.4.5 Spectrum Width Algorithms (page 204) and 8.4
Setup Operating Parameters (SOPRM) (page 239)):
• Select 0 to unconditional disable the R2 algorithms, regardless of what the host
computer requests in the SOPRM command.
• Select 2 to unconditionally enable R2 processing. Bit-7 of SOPRM word #2 is the host
computer's interface to this function when the 1:User case is selected.
• IRIS radar application uploads R0/R1/R2.
