Bogey Curves
Bogey Curves
CENTRAL STATION
The following pages list the Bogey Curve data that should be supplied by the Customer to
perform all curvedependent calculations.
If any of these items are not provided, the related calculations can not be performed, and their
results will not be available.
Fixed values can be used where stated, but curve fits provide more accurate results in most
cases.
For curve data, based on one or two variables, data tables must be built. Forms are included
for providing these tables.
The forms allow up to 10 values for independent variables, but less than 10 is acceptable.
For curves based on two independent variables, the number of X and Y values can be
different.
i.e. 8 X values, 10 Y values, and 80 Z values is acceptable.
