Define Pulse Reference Points

Note: This feature is available only for power meters and power sensors that support trace charts shown in the Trace display view.

You can configure the desired reference points for measuring pulse waveforms. You can then use the defined reference points to calculate the following:

• Proximal Line (default = 10%)
• Distal Line (default = 90%)
• Mesial Line (default = 50%)
• Rise Time
• Fall Time

Instructions

1. From the Instrument Setup tab, go to the "Trace Setup" pane.
2. Click the "Advanced" drop-down to show the available reference point parameters.
   
   
   

Note: The example above is for the BenchVue Power Meter bench application that provides single channel support. For the BenchVue Power Meter bench application that provides dual channel support, Channel A or Channel B will be displayed depending on the channel selected.

3. Enter the desired parameter values as a percentage.
   
   Trace Ref Level 1 - Enter the desired reference level for a proximal point for a Pulse Analysis configuration. Specify a value between 0 and 100% (default = 10%).
   
   Trace Ref Level 2 - Enter the desired reference level for a distal point for a Pulse Analysis configuration. Specify a value between 0 and 100% (default = 90%).
   
   Note: Reference Level 1 must be less than Reference Level 2.
   
   Pulse Duration Ref Level - Enter the desired reference level for a mesial point for a Pulse Analysis configuration. Specify a value between 0 and 100% (default = 50%).
