3.4.5. How to remove one (bad) beam from calculationsΒΆ

First look at the raw data to determine which beam is bad.

For instance:

  • the daily email has a plot with 9 pings

  • use plot_rawadcp.py to look at a *.raw file

Suppose the bad beam is #2 on the OS75 and this ship has OS150 and OS75. Then add this block to the bottom of the /home/adcp/config/proc_cfg.py file:

Code block:

## bad beam is 1,2,3,4
badbeam = dict(
   os75bb = 2,
   os75nb = 2,
  os150bb = None,
  os150nb = None,
)

Then check the syntax:

pyflakes3 /home/adcp/config/proc_cfg.py

When you are ready,

  • Stop recording

  • End cruise

  • Kill the UHDAS GUI

  • Start the UHDAS GUI

  • Start a NEW CRUISE name

  • Start recording
