RMS error (dB) Wideband values evaluated at each item in the set for wideband Frequency.
Calibration input values	List of Calibration input values used by the Calibration Assistant. These may include: Current values from the TS and Sv Offsets / Gain and Sa Correction section. Current values from the Angle Offsets and 3dB Beam Angles section.
Notes	Text recorded under the Notes tab of the Calibration Assistant.
Settings	Lines for names, units and values from the Required Settings tab of the Calibration Assistant.
Sphere settings	Lines for names, units and values from the Sphere Settings tab of the Calibration Assistant and the Calibration Sphere dialog box.
Two way beam correction	Lines for names, units and values from the Two Way Beam Angle tab of the Calibration Assistant.
Target summary (pre-calibration)	Lines for names, units and values from the Target Summary tab of the Calibration Assistant. All targets Target Summary under All targets. Includes: First target time: dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.sss Last target time: dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.sss On-axis targets Target Summary under On-axis targets.
Target summary (post-calibration)	Lines for names, units and values from the Target Summary tab of the Calibration Assistant. All targets Target Summary under All targets. Includes: First target time: dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.sss Last target time: dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.sss
Calibration output - ECS Format	Values listed under ECS File Output of the Calibration Assistant. Note: Frequency is generally displayed in Echoview in units of kHz, however the unit is in Hz for values in the FrequencyTableWideband array.
