DELAY

Specifies the radar time delay (in microseconds) to the first input pixel.

 EASI>DELAY=microseconds         | positive real number
DELAY is used to determine the slant range distance in metres to the first input pixel in the radar image. This is calculated using the following formula:

   slant range distance = DELAY * speed of light / 2
The speed of light is 299.793 metres per microsecond. DELAY * speed of light is the distance to the ground and back. It is divided by 2 to give the distance one-way.
