Automatic Parameter Setting Function
The AQ6370D provides a fit area/mask area automatic setting function. 
AUTO-FIX
ASE algorithm
The fitting algorithm is LINEAR. 
Since the algorithm is LINEAR, the mask area setting will not be required. 
Obtain the left and right fit areas (NA_Ri, NA_Li) of each channel by using the number of 
detected channels as follows.
When the number of channels “n” is 1
Internally obtain the measurement resolution of trace B and the value of the noise 
measurement point NOISE AREA in accordance with the resolution, and obtain the fit 
areas from the following equations.
  NA_Ri = λi + NOISE AREA
  NA_Li = λi − NOISE AREA
When the number of channels “n” is 2 or more
Obtain the channel spacing (spacing of λi) of each channel. Set the minimum spacing to 
SPACING and also use the following to obtain the NOISE AREA.
  NA_Ri = λi + NOISE AREA (i =1,2,…,n )
  NA_Li = λi − NOISE AREA (i =1,2,…,n )

ASE algorithm
The fitting algorithm is LINEAR. 
Since the algorithm is LINEAR, the mask area setting will not be required. 
Obtain the left and right fit areas (NA_Ri, NA_Li) of each channel by using the number 
of detected channels as follows (center points between channels are treated as NA_Ri, 
NA_Li.)
When the number of channels “n” is 1
Internally obtain the measurement resolution of trace B and the value of the noise 
measurement point NOISE AREA in accordance with the resolution, and obtain the fit 
areas from the following equations.
  NA_Ri = λi + NOISE AREA
  NA_Li = λi − NOISE AREA
