WV – Ambiguity Velocity
Purpose Sets the radial ambiguity velocity.
Format WVnnn
Range nnn = 000 to 999 cm/s
Default WV175
Recommended Setting. It is strongly recommended that the WV
command be left at the default value of 175.
Description Set WV as low as possible to attain maximum performance,
but not too low or ambiguity errors will occur. RDI recom-
mends that the WV command not be set below 100cm/s. Rule
of thumb: Set WV to the maximum horizontal velocity rela-
tive to the Channel Master.
The WV command (ambiguity velocity setting) sets the
maximum velocity that can be measured along the beam. WV
is used to improve the single-ping standard deviation. The
lower the value of the WV command is, the lower the single-
ping standard deviation.
