binning type, SYNC input active<br />

AT The Arrival Time shown here is relative to the beginning of the acquisition<br />

TT The Tansit Time shown is the measured transit time of each particle.<br />

Time The Time shown in Figure 6-47 is relative to the latest Reset-Pulse (SYNC)<br />

received, <strong>and</strong> consequently indicates the time within each cycle.<br />

The unit format for Time is the same as for Arrival time. It is defined from<br />

the menu bar in Tools/Option/Data formats.<br />

Angle In Figure 6-48, the time information is transformed into angle information.<br />

The measured duration of each cycle (time between two SYNCH events) is<br />

divided into angles according to the selected cycle length in deg (see chapter<br />

6.3.4). By taking each individual cycle, cycle-to-cycle duration variation is<br />

taken into account.<br />

The Angle shown in Figure 6-48 is the angle calculated from the time<br />

information for each individual sample.<br />

Cycle No The Cycle number is the number of SYNCH events.<br />

Bin No A cycle is divided in a number of bins (see chapter 6.3.4). The bin No is the<br />

bin number that each sample belongs to.<br />

Raw Information The Figure 6-47 <strong>and</strong> Figure 6-48 correspond to a 1D LDA system. The<br />

LDA1 column is the velocity of the individual sample. In case of 2velocity<br />

components system or PDA system, all the raw individual information like<br />

second velocity or particle diameter will be available.<br />

Time or Angle Bin The column labelled Time or Angle Bin identify these bins by their upper<br />

limit.<br />

Counts The column labelled Counts contains the number of samples that fell in each<br />

bin, <strong>and</strong> is relevant in estimating the accuracy of the calculated mean- <strong>and</strong><br />

RMS-values. If either of the angle bins contain too few samples to yield<br />

reliable mean- <strong>and</strong> RMS-values, you will have to increase the bin width by<br />

reducing the total number of bins.<br />

Please note that some bins may be empty: if an impeller blade blocks the<br />

laser beams, a measurement is not possible.<br />
