Glossary
Bridge Factor
Specific sensor property used for different configurations of the Wheatstone bridge and part of the sensor
characteristics.
Butterworth Filter
A filter characteristic that is very common in measurement applications. These filters have a very good atten-
uation above the cutoff frequency. A disadvantage is the poor time response with a strong phase shift and
overshoot. They are preferred for periodically oscillating signals greater than 10 Hz.
C
Calculated Channels
Signals that are mathematically processed and made available to the user as live signals.
Calculation
Set of different math operations for free formulas or predefined calculations that can be applied to signals.
Channel Check
Quick validation of a channel typically performed before running a test.
D
DAQ
Data acquisition. See Acquisition.
Digital Indicator
A digital representation of the measured values for a single channel. In the HBK ADVANTAGE, it is a visu-
alization object to display the numerical value and physical unit of a signal.
E
Edge Trigger
A trigger that is initiated when a signal crosses, in a positive or negative direction, a set level.
Engineering Unit
Output unit of a signal in the software after scaling/converting it to the engineering output unit.
Event
A specific occurrence during a test scenario. An event can be anything like exceeding a threshold, change of a
digital input or receiving a message. Events are typically logged.
