NOTE<br />

When using the digital filter in SNGL acquisition mode , each measurement is<br />

the average of the last 10 acquisitions independent of how old any of the<br />

measurements are.<br />

Gain<br />

Gain processing accounts for the signal gain of the input amplifiers. The<br />

output is the product of the digitized value and the amplifier gain.<br />

Zero Offset<br />

Zero offset is active whenever the ZERO annunciator is lit, Section 2.3.5. The<br />

zero offset output is equal to the input value less the zero reference value,<br />

S-S o<br />

Responsivity Map(s)<br />

This process scales the input value in accordance with current calibration<br />

wavelength and the responsivity map downloaded from the detector calibration<br />

module. The output of this process, i.e. the measurement value, is the<br />

digitized input value divided by the responsivity associated with the current<br />

calibration wavelength or the user defined calibration value. Different<br />

responsivities are used depending upon if the attenuator, ATTN, annunciator<br />

is lit, Section 2.3.8.<br />

Units Correction<br />

Units correction adjusts a measurement value to account for the display units<br />

selected. When the display units are equal to the detector signal units, i.e.<br />

equal to the numerator of the responsivity units, Table 22, the measurement<br />

value is not adjusted. Otherwise the digitized value is adjusted to account for<br />

detector responsivity and/or additional unit conversions such as Joules-to-<br />

Ergs or W-to-W/cm 2 .<br />

NOTE<br />

Per area unit conversions such as W-to-W/cm 2 divide the measurement value<br />

by the active area of the detector. This calculation assumes that the entire<br />

active area of the detector is uniformly illuminated. Per area measurements<br />

where the entire detector active area is not uniformly lit are not accurate.<br />

The user must insure that these conditions are met before utilizing per area<br />

units.<br />

Data Store Buffer<br />

Units correction adjusts a measurement value to account for the display<br />

units selected. When the display units are equal to the detector signal units,<br />

i.e. equal to the numerator of the responsivity units, Table 22.<br />
