The Beam Check supplied in
away from the transducer.
Boundary that is located within 27cm from the FlowTracker2 transducer can affect the
accuracy and precision of velocity measurement. It is recommended when working
close to boundaries to determine the location of the boundary in relation to the
transducer and sampling volume. This can be achieved by performing a manual Beam
Check or Automated Beam Check.

Boundary in Sampling Volume
Boundary in Sampling Volume occurs when the boundary is located at the same position
from the transducer than the sampling volume. There are number of unique features
shown in
Figure 6:9
sampling volume.
a) The SNR of the peak located at the sampling volume is two to three times higher
than previous measurements performed.
b) Three peaks are displayed in the Beam Check, spaced at equal distances.
c) The SNR of each peak reduces as distance increase form the transducer.
