These two words convey the measured I and Q DC offsets from the last noise sample. The output format is either signed 16-bit values in which ±32767 represent ±1.0 (legacy format), or packed time series values using the High-SNR encoding format. Bit-9 of GPARM Word-59 shows which format to use.

|----------------------------------------------------------------|

The desired trigger generator rate is that which was selected in the most recently issued SETPWF command (or power-up rate if SETPWF was not issued). The current rate may be different from the desired rate due to bounding against limits for the current pulse width, or being in an odd ray cycle during dual-PRT processing. The measured PRTs are forced to 0xFFFF (the maximum unsigned value) when the external trigger is expected, but missing.

|----------------------------------------------------------------|

The PRTs from the start and end of the last ray are the measured values when possible, that is, when non-simulated data are being processed, and we either have an external trigger, or an internal trigger that is not in any of the dual-PRT modes. The units are the same as for the measured current trigger period in Output #3.

Output 31 ... Output 37 are the current processing and threshold parameters set by SOPRM. See Setup operating parameters (SOPRM).

Since the threshold levels for each data parameter can be different (see Set Individual Thresholds (THRESH)), words 33 ... 36 are taken from the velocity parameter.

|----------------------------------------------------------------|

To compute the noise power in dBm from Words 44 ... 47, first calculate:

N I = ( W o r d 45 ) × 2 15 + ( W o r d 44 ) × 2 31
N Q = ( W o r d 47 ) × 2 15 + ( W o r d 46 ) × 2 31

from which we obtain:

d B m = P M A X + 10 log 10 ( N I + N Q ) 3 d B

The four integer values become rather small and severely quantized when the noise power drops to low values. Previously, these words helped balance the individual gain of the I and Q channels in RVP6 in the presence of a strong test signal. Since I and Q are inherently balanced in the RVP10, these output words are no longer of much value.

The noise standard deviations for each receive channel are normalized to the mean power. The values reported here hover around 0 dB for ordinary exponentially distributed noise in which the standard deviation scales directly with the mean.
