Velocity Plot
SonTek/YSI
• The velocity plot shows the three components of velocity in the user-specified coordinate
system (BEAM, XYZ or ENU) versus time.
• You can turn on/off the plotting of individual velocity components using any of the three
Select Components buttons on the tool bar.
• To change the velocity plot axis (vertical), double-click on the axis. A small window will
appear that allows you to change the vertical plot scale.
• To change the time plot axis (horizontal), double-click on the axis. A small window will
appear that allows you to change the horizontal plot scale.
Signal Strength Plot
• The signal strength plot shows the three components of signal strength (one for each
receiver) versus time.
• The signal strength vertical-axis is fixed.
• The signal strength time-axis (horizontal) is set to match the velocity plot axis.
• Signal strength data is the best source of diagnostic data for system operation and should
be monitored closely.
• See the Argonaut Principles of Operation for details about using and interpreting signal
strength data.
Tabular Display
• The far right portion of the screen shows a tabular display of the current Argonaut sample.
• Displayed data includes velocity, signal strength, standard error, temperature, and battery
voltage.
• See the Argonaut Principles of Operation for details about different types of data.
