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. |
