Glossary
Event Trigger
A trigger that is initiated when a user-defined event occurs, for example, an alarm situation is detected (such as
when the frame temperature is too high).
F
Filter
Method of preventing noise and aliasing (in the context of configuration of channel settings). There may be sev-
eral options in filter settings, for example, 'anti-aliasing' and 'bypass' to apply Bessel or Butterworth filters.
Firmware
Embedded software running on measurement electronics.
Frame
One type of housing within the HBK FUSION platform. A frame has standard dimensions, 19-in wide and 4 U
high to fit into standard cabinets. Frames have different functions for the platform: they power, synchronize
and interconnect boards incl. real-time data transport.They also offer features like data storage or extra con-
nectivity via Wi-Fi or 5G.
G
Gain Scaling
This scaling type is used, for example, with CCLD-based transducers and defines the gain between the elec-
trical input signal and the scaled output signal.
Gauge Scaling
This scaling type is for strain gauges only and defines a linear characteristic by using the gauge factor, for
example, 2.1, and the bridge factor (1, 2, or 4) of the sensor. For the gauge factor, refer to the sensor data
sheet. The bridge factor is determined by the number of resistors in the bridge circuit.
H
Hold-off
A time interval in which the trigger detection is inactive after the trigger.
Hysteresis
A 'band' around the trigger level that is used to prevent unwanted rapid switching, for example, due to noise.
