13.2.10.3Target of Known Depth

If there are no suitable hyperbolas visible in the data to perform the Hyperbola Matching
described above, it may be the situation that there is a target of known depth in the area being
scanned. If this is the case, selecting the button with the circle with a horizontal line through it will
superimpose a horizontal line on the data. This line can then be moved up or down until it lies on
top of the Noggin response to the known target. Then, the user can adjust the velocity value up
or down until the known target depth is correct. Once the depth is matched, the current velocity
value is the one used for all subsequent data acquisition.

Figure: 13-5 Using a target of known depth to extract velocity. After selecting CALIB, choosing the known depth but-
ton (a circle with a horizontal line through it) will superimpose a horizontal line on the data (a). Using the depth buttons,
this line can then be moved up or down until it lies on top of the Noggin response to the known target (b). Then, the
user can use the velocity buttons to adjust the velocity value up or down until the known target depth is correct. Once
the depth is matched, the velocity value should be used for all subsequent data acquisition.
If units are meters then depths will appear in meters and velocities in meters per nanosecond (m/
ns). If units are feet then depths will appear in feet and velocities in feet per nanosecond (ft/ns).
To change units see 13.3.1.3: p.95.
