QTF Calibration Coefficients

Theory

Each line of data in a QTF calibration coefficient file has the following format:

Relative floating body/wave heading, QTFCALy, QTFCALz, QTFCALθ

This line is repeated until QTF calibration coefficient values are specified for all headings. Relative floating body/wave heading in this context is defined as the angle of incidence of the wave relative to the floating body axes; refer to Definition of Wave Heading for QTF Data for a more detailed definition. QTFCALy, QTFCALz and QTFCALθ are respectively the QTF calibration values in surge, sway and yaw at a particular heading.
