Error Message

Description

RANGE

The start (F1) frequency is greater than the stop (F2) frequency.

ERROR:F1 > F2

 

 

 

RANGE

The start (D1) distance is greater than the stop (D2) distance.

ERROR:D1 > D2

 

 

 

RANGE

The stop distance (D2) exceeds the maximum unaliased range. This

ERROR:D2 >

range is determined by the frequency span, number of points,

DMax=xx.x ft (m)

and relative propagation velocity:

 

MaximumUnaliased Range ￿

(1.5 ￿ 108) (dp ￿ 1) (V f )

 

F2 ￿ F1

 

 

 

 

Where: dp is the number of data points (130, 259, or 517)

 

Vf is the relative propagation velocity

 

F2 is the stop frequency in Hz

 

F1 is the start frequency in Hz

 

Maximum Unaliased Range is in meters

RANGE ERROR:
