Review Station Measurement 8.3.3.4
Review Station measurement screen consist of tabular report and velocity distribution
plot supplied at the completion of all point velocity measurements at a station. The
variables supplied in the report are dependent on the features activated on the handheld,
velocity method selected and the discharge calculation method. The velocity distribution
plot gives graphical presentation of the point velocity measurements against theoretical
1/6
th
power law.
