 Depth Range Enter the distance from the face of the bat
to the channel floor if the ultrasonic sensor is installed
upstream of the weir wall. Enter the distance from the face
of the bat to the crest of the weir if the ultrasonic sensor is
installed directly over the weir wall.
 Const. K This field is read-only for most weir

value, the weir equation will be modified and incorrect
CFS quantities may result. Verify any value manually
entered to this field.

the given characteristics, as determined by you or by ADS.
 Length Enter the total length of the wall from one side of
the chamber to the other.

floor to the top of the crest wall.
 Breadth Enter the breadth of the crest along the width of
the crest wall from the upstream edge to the downstream
edge (that is, the thickness of the wall).
