• Detector 2: RMS
• Detector 3: The function of the third detector can be set via the context menu as
follows:
– -Pk (Minus Peak)
– Avg (Average)
– Smp (Sample)
In order to be able to view very fast signals with the naked eye (the measurement time
is partly 10 ms), there is a downstream compression for these detectors, which the user
can display as an additional trace.
The compression time is determined by the Scan Count. After the Scan Count has
elapsed, the signal then decays exponentially.
Example:
• Measurement Time: 10 ms
• Scan Count: 300
• Trace: MxP
Over the time of 10 ms x 300 = 3 s, the data of the +Pk (Plus Peak) become
summarized in a Trace (in this case, the maximum values that have occurred during this
time). If the signal would no longer be present after the 3 s, the Trace would slowly fade
away. In this way, short pulses, for example, can be made visible.
Calculated traces:
• Detector 1: MxP (Maximum of Plus Peak)
• Detector 2:
– MxR (Maximum of RMS)
– AvR (Average of RMS)
– MnR (Minimum of RMS)
• Detector 3 (depending on the configuration):
– MnP (Minimum of Minus Peak)
– MxA (Maximum of Average)
–
MxS (Maximum of Sample)
