Group properties: acquisition <strong>and</strong> monitor<br />

Dead Time can used to avoid over-sampling the velocity information, <strong>and</strong><br />

thereby eliminate velocity bias. It is typically used when the required result<br />

is the moments of the velocity distribution (mean, RMS, skewness <strong>and</strong><br />

flatness). It has the additional advantage of reducing the data file size,<br />

compared to the other modes.<br />

Please consult chapter 8 for more information on how to use the different<br />

modes.<br />

Burst is used when the photo-detector signal consists of discrete bursts from<br />

seeding particles, <strong>and</strong> when a high data rate is required. There is one<br />

measurement per detected burst, producing arrival time, transit time <strong>and</strong><br />

velocity information.<br />

In Dead time mode, the time axis is divided into intervals. In each interval,<br />

only the first Doppler burst is processed. The interval is specified in the<br />

Dead-time property.<br />

group properties in the property editor.<br />

Coincident data from velocity channels are obtained by placing those<br />

channels in a common group. The group properties are common for all<br />

channels in that group. If coincident data are not required, the channels can<br />

be placed in separate groups. It is possible to perform subsequent<br />

coincidence filtering of data from separate groups by adding a Coincidence<br />

object to a project, see section 5.8 - Coincidence.<br />

Max. samples The maximum samples number is a stop criterion for data acquisition for the<br />

selected coincidence group.<br />
