* Some manufacturers record corr and amplitude for each beam or in the instrument coordinate system. Nortek records these variables in the instrument XYZ frame of reference.
* Some manufacturers record quality-control variables (e.g., CORRN) in the instrument coordinate system. For example, Nortek records these variables in the instrument XYZ frame of reference. It's best to record the data in that coordinate system.
