see section 5.14.4.<br />

Coincidence method: It can be Overlapped or Windowing. This determines how coincidence<br />

filtering is done.<br />

Overlapped requires that bursts partly overlap.<br />

Windowing requires that bursts are detected within a time window defined<br />

by the Coincidence window property. This setting may be useful when<br />

measuring through curved window surfaces, where burst overlap may not be<br />

possible.<br />

With a PDA system, channels LDA1, PDA2 <strong>and</strong> PDA3 are always running<br />

in Overlaping mode. The Windowing option can be used only in case of 2D<br />

or 3D PDA systems.<br />

Coincidence window: It defines the time window for coincidence filtering by the Windowing<br />

method.<br />

Scope Display: The value can be Off, Burst Signal or Burst Spectrum.<br />

Off is recommended if the PC is heavily loaded during acquisition due to<br />

either many calculation intensive objects or high data rates.<br />

The CPU load can be checked by the Windows Task Manager’s<br />

Performance tab. If it is near 100% during acquisition, it is recommended to<br />

set Scope display Off, <strong>and</strong> do disable as many objects as possible during<br />

acquisition.<br />

Burst Signal displays the photo-multiplier signal after signal conditioning<br />

<strong>and</strong> downmixing. Read more in section 0.<br />

Burst Spectrum displays the frequency spectrum of the photo-multiplier<br />

spectrum after signal conditioning <strong>and</strong> downmixing. Read more in section 0.<br />

Scope zoom: It determines the scaling of the Scope display’s time axis, when the Scope<br />

display property is set to Burst signal. The scaling is in % of the Record<br />

interval (Fixed record length mode) or Max. record interval (Auto-adaptive<br />

record length mode) defined under the LDA1 .. properties. Values can be<br />

typed in or chosen from the list. The highest possible value is 3200%.<br />

Scope trigger channel: The value can be Free run, Individual, 1, 2 or 3.<br />

Free run: the Scope is not triggered by bursts. This can be used to get an<br />

impression of the data rate or background noise.<br />

Individual: Each trace on the Scope is digitally triggered at the center of the<br />

bursts of the individual channel.<br />

1, 2 or 3: All traces on the scope are triggered at the center of the bursts of<br />

the selected channel no. This is useful if dependency between velocity<br />

channels is investigated (e.g. to check coincidence).<br />
