Output Options


The computed velocity can be stored in a range of detail. When the task is run interactively the status line holds a short description of the results. The type of output saved is controlled by the user and can include a graphical summary of the correlation, tabular output in long or short form, and a verbose description of the correlation. Examples of each of these are shown below.
