logarithmic (acoustic emission) amplitude distribution g(V)- see distribution,<br />

logarithmic (acoustic emission) amplitude.<br />

overload recovery time- an interval of nonlinear operation of an instrument<br />

caused by a signal with amplitude in excess of the instrument’s linear<br />

operating range.<br />

performance check, AE system- see verification, AE system.<br />

pressure, design- pressure used in design to determine the required<br />

minimum thickness and minimum mechanical properties.<br />

processing capacity- the number of hits that can be processed at the<br />

processing speed before the system must interrupt data collection to clear<br />

buffers or otherwise prepare for accepting additional data.<br />

processing speed- the sustained rate (hits/s), as a function of the parameter<br />

set and number of active channels, at which AE signals can be continuously<br />

processed by a system without interruption for data transport.<br />
