Burst where the instrument continuously stores the selected
Continuous mode
burst parameter data at the selected sampling rate.
Average where the instrument stores the selected current velocity
Interval mode
and tilt vector averages and one record of the selected instantaneous parameters at
the end of every averaging interval for the Average On Time beginning at the start of
every time interval.
Burst where the 3D-ACM Wave continuously stores the selected
Interval mode
burst parameter data at the selected sampling rate for the Burst On Time beginning
at the start of every time interval.
Average and Burst Interleaved where the instrument operates in
Interval mode
Interval modeAverage for a specified number of time intervals, and then beginning
at the start of the next time interval and for that time interval only, stores the selected
burst parameter data at the selected sampling rate for the Burst On Time. This cycle
repeats continuously.
Average where the instrument commences the Interval
Delayed mode
modeAverage beginning at the Delayed Time on the Delayed Date.
Burst where the instrument commences the Interval modeBurst,
Delayed mode
beginning at the Delayed Time on the Delayed Date.
Average and Burst Interleaved where the instrument commences
Delayed mode
the Interval modeAverage and Burst Interleaved beginning at the Delayed Time on
the Delayed Date.
Note: For any Average operating mode, including Average and Burst Interleaved, if
the Average Interval is less than 15 seconds, or if no current velocity or tilt vector
averages are selected, or both, the selected instantaneous parameter data are
stored at the selected sampling rate. Any selected vector averages are not stored.
Note: For all Delayed running modes, if the Interval Time is zero, or if the Average
On Time or burst On Time is greater than the Interval Time, then beginning at the
Delayed Time on the Delayed Date the instrument commences Continuous
modeAverage if Average is selected for the operating mode or Continuous
modeBurst if Burst is selected for the operating mode.
