Appendix A: Example Pixel Collection m-file

The following is an example m-file used to create a cBathy array for Agate Beach, Oregon, in 2011. It works only for Argus systems but can be used as an illustration or template for other systems. The cBathy-specific part of the code is the five lines follow the comment ‘% create a large matrix coverage for cBathy’ and simply creates a matrix of pixel instruments over the sampling area with x and y spacing of 10 and 20 m, respectively.
