60 Variable depolarization factor
61 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
62
63 Q: Due to changes in the settings of our lidar system, the depolarization factor can
64 change during the measurement. Is it necessary to provide one SCC-file for each settings
65 or is it possible to set the Depolarization_Factor variable time dependent?
66
67 A: Unfortunately it is not possible to have time dependence on Depolarization_Factor variable.
68 So if this parameter changes you should provide different SCC files for each setting.
