Meaning

Description / Values

X

Recording Type

A: Regular recording

E: Recording with an event or anomaly (described in annotation file)

xxxxx

Motor Activity Code

5-digit code: Each digit corresponds to one motor

1st-4th digits: Motors 1-4 (Combustion)

5th digit: Electric motor (ship model)

Motors 1-4:

0 = Absent, 1 = Idle disengaged, 2 = Idle engaged forward, 3 = Slow forward, 4 = Medium forward, 5 = Varying

Motor 5:

0 = Absent, 1 = Slow forward, 2 = Fast forward, 3 = Slow reverse, 4 = Fast reverse

T

Transient Section

Always the letter T, marking the beginning of the transient code

tt

Transient Code

Sum of weights representing combined transient events:

0 = None, 1 = Air discharge, 2 = Water bucket, 4 = Tube hit (mallet), 8 = Tube hit (hammer), 16 = Air rifle

N

Noise Section

Always the letter N, marking the beginning of the noise code

nn

Noise Code

Sum of weights representing combined noise sources:

0 = None, 1 = Air bubbling (high), 2 = Air bubbling (low), 4 = Hose (low flow), 8 = Hose (high flow)

xNN

Recording Number

Optional suffix for repeated setups (e.g., x01, x02)

Used when multiple recordings exist with the same configuration
