Backward Bidirectional Choose this option when the
Surface Combo Sensor is installed facing downstream and
to ensure the monitor analyzes flows moving both away
from and toward the face of the sensor. This option would
be beneficial, for example, when using a weir to measure
overflows that may experience of river intrusion.
• Maximum Velocity Select the maximum expected velocity
that will occur at the site for the monitor to use in fine-tuning
the velocity data. The default setting (Auto) serves to
optimize the range and resolution of the velocity data samples
to match the characteristics of the flow.
• Transmit Frequency Select the frequency at which to
transmit the signal. ADS recommends leaving the default
setting (Normal) for most applications. However, if hydraulic
conditions at the site are resulting in questionable or erroneous
readings, consider applying the other frequency option.
Contact ADS for assistance, when necessary.
• Gain This read-only value represents the factor applied to
the raw velocity readings to determine average velocity for
calculating quantity and typical days in the monitor. The
Gain is not applied to velocity readings reported in
Diagnostics where a raw velocity reading is reported to
facilitate comparison with manual measurements.
• Store Data Select this checkbox to ensure the monitor logs
the velocity data to memory. This option is selected by
default.
• Advanced Select this button to access the Advanced
Parameters window.
Note: Modifications made to the Advanced Parameters
should be performed only by or under the guidance of
trained ADS personnel. Therefore, ADS recommends
leaving the default settings in place.
DAC Gain Choose the method for managing the
amplification of the analog signal that returns to the sensor.
Select the Auto (default) option to allow the monitor to
