Step 4.3: Check Measurements; Step 5: Configure The Distribution Of Data - RADAC WaveGuide 5 Direction User Manual

Figure 3.8: The reflection diagram of one of the three sensors.
The three green lines together form a region in which a measurement is accepted, and any
result outside of it is ignored.
Step 4.3: Check the measurements
On the 'Dashboard' page, the heave parameter shows data measured during the last 1, 3
or 10 minutes. Please inspect the available heave and slope graphs to visually confirm the
measured data. From the same menu all calculated parameters are available. Please take
into account that it can take up to 10 minutes to gather enough raw data to calculate the
parameters.
Step 5. Configure the distribution of data
The WaveGuide processing unit can transmit measured and calculated data via its serial
ports (COM1 & COM2) and distribute data over the network to several addresses at the
same time. In the 'Subscriptions' page under 'Configuration'(Fig. 3.9 and Fig. 3.10), the
existing subscriptions can be removed or modified and new ones can be added. Simultaneous
subscriptions are possible.
Figure 3.9: List of defined subscriptions.
The address for a serial port subscription should have the following format: 'port', 'baud-
rate', 'number of data bits', 'number of stop bits', 'parity', 'handshake'. For example the
default values are, COM2,9600,8,1,NONE,NONE.
If the address string is not complete the default values will be used. For example, COM2,9600
will be interpreted as COM2,9600,8,1,NONE,NONE.
