Figure 21: Output Parameters
The two upper panels shown in Figure 21 contain check boxes for configuring
selections of averaged data and processed data (instantaneous data)
separately for recording. Processed data are calculated on the basis of one
raw spectrum

. Averaged Data are processed on the basis of an average of
multiple raw spectra, depending on the selected averaging time. The
selectable variables are described in the table below.

raw spectra and the processed data represent already averages over 10 seconds, these
averages are calculated out of approx. 78 instantaneous spectra.

The output variable Height should always be selected, as this facilitates further processing of
recorded data.
