Peak Level
• The shape of the sampling
volume curve is compared to
the expected shape. Any
significant deviation causes a
warning,
• This criterion can only be
checked with sufficient SNR
(> 7 dB).

QC
Peak Location
• The physical location of the
sampling volume is compared
to the expected location. Any

c) The graphical display of the Quality Control parameters supplied during the
Automated BeamCheck is time series of each parameter. If there are any
significant variation between the beams, spikes are present in the data or Quality
Control warnings are issued we recommend the following steps,
i). Repeat the test at least once, after you verify that the probe and sampling
volume are well away from any underwater obstacles.
ii). Perform BeamCheck, described in 6.3 Beam Check to evaluate FlowTracker2
performance in more detail,
d) The display options for individual or all beam check data are listed in Table 6:7.
The shortcut key on the keypad determines which beam SNR will be displayed,
