Talk:Level 1 data (velocity profilers)

Brian scannell (talk) 15:36, 22 December 2021 (CET) I think dimension N_BEAM has to be the beam numbers for the beams with the standard beam angle - so will typically be [1 2 3]or [1 2 3 4]. If we allow it to include beam 5, we run into a problem with the variables such as R_VEL for which N_BEAM is a dimension.

Brian scannell (talk) 15:38, 22 December 2021 (CET) Are there any designs out there with three angled beams plus a vertical beam? If so, perhaps rather than R_DIST5 etc we should use R_DISTV to indicate vertical - although it also has the advantage of being the Roman 5...

Brian scannell (talk) 12:32, 28 December 2021 (CET) Plus the vertical beam is often configurable with different sampling rates / burst periods etc. which suggests there is a need for a separate variable TIME5 (or following the suggestion above TIMEV).
