Description
0
Measurement status
0 = Invalid measurement
1 = Valid measurement
1
PULSE_MULTOBJ
0 = Normal measurement
1 = Measurement is the result of demerge processing (see
10.5.2 on page 73).
2

3
PULSE_SATURAT
0 = Normal measurement
1 = The pulse is saturated for at least 2 consecutive samples
The signal is saturated when exceeding an
amplitude of 2047.
See “Saturation” in section 2.

6
PULSE_XTALK
0 = Normal measurement
1 = Measurement is the result of crosstalk (“xtalk”) processing
See “Crosstalk” in section 2.
7
PULSE_MODE
0 = Normal mode
1 = Mitigation mode (due to strong reflector[s] in the FoV)
8
PULSE_ORIGIN
0 = Pulse from high-range acquisition
1 = Pulse from low-range acquisition

10
PULSE_RIPPLES
0 = Normal measurement
1 = Set when parasite (electronic) ripples are detected and
processed
See “Parasite ripple” in section 2.

PULSE_RETRIEV
0 = Normal measurement
1 = Measurement is the result of a reconstructed echo
from the neighboring segment
15
PULSE_INTERFERENCE
0 = Normal measurement
1 = Measurement is the result of interference processing
For example, a valid echo with saturation correction will have a flag of 9 (VALID Flag=1 +
PULSE_SATURAT=8)
