TS Substitution

This operator allows you to select data to be substituted into the TS and/or Uncompensated TS values of each target in a targets variable. There is an option to convert the data value to dB.

It accepts operands with the following data types:

  • Single targets
  • Multibeam targets

Note: The data substituted can be sourced from target properties calculated during multibeam target detection, or from custom columns in single target .csv data.

The TS Substitution Variable Properties dialog box pages include (common) Variable Properties pages and these operator pages.

Description

Populate TS with values from:

Select a set of values from the list to substitute into the TS values of the virtual variable.

The additional setting is used to convert the values in the selected field to dB.

Set no data values to:

Select a value from the list to set no data values to.

The Zero (-999dB) value is useful when you want to view targets that have this special value. See View target length and target length manual together for more information.

Convert values from linear to dB scale

Treats the selected set of values as linear and converts them to dB.

Populate Uncompensated TS with values from:

Select a set of values from the list to substitute into the Uncompensated TS values of the virtual variable.

The additional setting is used to convert the values in the selected field to dB.

Set no data values to:

Select a value from the list to set no data values to.

The Zero (-999dB) value is useful when you want to view targets that have this special value. See View target length and target length manual together for more information.

Convert values from linear to dB scale

Treats the selected set of values as linear and converts them to dB.

Note: The major-axis angle and minor-axis angle refer to the major-axis angle and minor-axis angle at the geometric center of the target detected during multibeam target detection.
