voltage threshold—a voltage level on an electronic comparator such that<br />

signals with amplitudes larger than this level will be recognized. The voltage<br />

threshold may be user adjustable, fixed, or automatic floating. (E 750)<br />

waveguide, acoustic emission—a device that couples elastic energy from a<br />

structure or other test object to a remotely mounted sensor during AE<br />

monitoring. An example of an acoustic emission waveguide would be a solid<br />

wire of rod that is coupled at one end to a monitored structure, and to a<br />

sensor at the other end.<br />
