LDA 1, 2, . properties: Range <strong>and</strong> gain<br />

Figure 5-13: LDA1 properties.<br />

Center velocity It is used to set the center of the required velocity range. It should be set<br />

according to the estimated mean velocity in the flow. You can type a value<br />

or select one from the list. If you type a value, the software will select the<br />

nearest possible value of the processor.<br />

The unit can be m/s, ft/s or ft/min. This, <strong>and</strong> the format of the figures, is<br />

specified from the Tools - Options – Data formats menu. Under the list of<br />

data types, a check box Display velocity as frequency must be checked if<br />

the Doppler frequency should be shown instead of velocity.<br />

Velocity span The width of the velocity range around the center velocity. Units are the<br />

same as for the center velocity. Velocity span should be set according to the<br />

expected range of fluctuations in flow velocity. If in doubt, set a large<br />

velocity span to begin width, define a histogram <strong>and</strong> make an acquisition.<br />

Zoom in to proper center velocity <strong>and</strong> velocity span afterwards.<br />

Record length mode: It can be Auto-adaptive or Fixed. In auto-adaptive mode, the processor will<br />

adapt the record length individually to each burst, within the limits specified<br />

by the Record length <strong>and</strong> Maximum record length values.<br />

In Fixed mode, the Minimum record length value is always used.<br />

To estimate the required record length, use the Doppler monitor display.<br />

Minimum record<br />

length (only in Record length mode Auto-adaptive): sets the number of samples of<br />

the shortest record length in Auto-adaptive mode.<br />

Maximum record<br />

length It sets the number of samples of the longest record length in Auto-adaptive<br />

mode. Not used in Fixed mode.<br />

Note Rules for 2D or 3D coincidence measurements:<br />

ratio between the velocity span of the channels: max. 2,<br />

ratio between the Max. record length of the channels: max. 2<br />

If these rules are not respected, delays in the electronics will differ too much<br />

to obtain reliable coincidence results<br />
