5.16 Phase Plot<br />

The calculations for the mean velocities are exactly the same as for the<br />

individual velocity samples.<br />

The Transform forwards all data other than mean velocities unchanged,<br />

which means that e.g. RMS velocities are the directly measured ones which<br />

can not be associated with the tranformed mean velocities.<br />

If the RMS velocities of transformed velocity components are required, the<br />

only way is to apply the transform to the individual, coincident velocity<br />

samples as explained in section 5.15.1.<br />

This object is only available in PDA configuration (Particle size add-on).<br />

The phase plot mainly serves as a tool during system setup. It is used to<br />

facilitate proper optical alignment <strong>and</strong> to ensure correct setting of all<br />

parameters affecting the particle size measurement. During data acquisition<br />

the phase plot allows to continuously monitor measurement quality.<br />

For trouble shooting Futher information about using the phase plot for trouble shooting can be<br />

found in chapter 8.3 PDA.<br />

The phase plot is a 2D plot displaying the relationship between two<br />

measured phase differences. The phase plot for a FiberPDA differs slightly<br />

from that of a DualPDA. For a FiberPDA the phase plot displays the<br />

measured phase difference between detector U1 <strong>and</strong> U2 as a function of the<br />

phase difference between detector U1 <strong>and</strong> U3. For a DualPDA the phase U1-<br />

U2 is shown as a function of phase V1-V2.<br />
