User's Guide to WILBR Software for the Dec Alpha Workstation.

Abstract

A user's guide is presented for the WILBR software installed on a Digital Electronics Corporation ALPHA system. WILBR is an array performance and data quality assessment software program with the additional capability of characterizing the ambient noise field. This version of WILBR has been adapted from the VAX version used at SACLANTCEN, La Spezia, Italy to reside on the ALPHA system at Forschungsanstalt der Bundeswehr fuer Wasserschallund Geophysik (FWG), Kiel, Germany. Other modifications for this version include a beamformer capability and slight modifications to the WILBR routines to accommodate the unique specifications of FWG's digital towed array (DTAS) data. The user's guide provides general information about WILBR on the ALPHA system and gives examples of the WILBR products available with this version. It explains how to install WILBR and provides step-by-step instructions on running the program. There is a quick locator for applying modifications to accommodate different array specifications, such as different filter functions, or new shading capability, or an updated data acquisition system.
