8.6.3 Moving Bed Correction
If moving bed tests were performed during the measurement, they will be available
under the Moving Bed Correction button. The user can select either Loop
measurements or SMBA measurements.
Choosing the Loop Method will open the dialog shown in Figure 101. If more than one
Loop measurement exists, the user can select which file to use in the Loop correction
from the Loop Method Files drop-down list at the top. If the Loop measurement
indicates a moving bed, the user will be alerted (highlighted in Figure 101), and a
correction to discharge values can be made on any transects checked in the bottom
box. Hit the Apply button to apply the Loop correction to the transects desired. This
option will not appear if the Loop measurement does not indicate a moving bed.
