Baseline Recordings - GE SCOUT100-Ex Reference Manual

Baseline Recordings

Baseline recordings are mainly used to assess the data quality of new
recordings. If the new overall value has changed significantly compared
to the baseline, you should recheck the sensor position and mounting.
The baseline is selected in Ascent and sent to your instrument when you
click Send. You can send the full baseline spectrum or only the overall
value. If you choose to use a full spectrum, you will be able to display the
full baseline spectrum and the overall value on the instrument. This will
enable you to make detailed comparisons, however it will take a long
time to send the data to your instrument.
The next time you take a recording, the overall power level for the
baseline will display in the top right corner of the screen, directly
underneath the overall power level for the current recording. The LED
lights on the instrument will also indicate the status of the recording,
relative to the baseline.
NOTE: You can only display baseline recordings when you take a
recording from the Record Review or Route menu. You CANNOT
display a baseline from the Measure Menu. Baseline recordings are
identified by an arrow > symbol to the left of the recording list.
