The following equation can be used to calculate any Delta reading:
X 2Y
–
+
------------------------- -
Delta
=
4
Where:
X, Y, and Z are the three A/D measurements for a Delta reading.
n = Delta Cycle Number – 1
Example – Calculate the 21st Delta reading:
X, Y, and Z are the three A/D measurements for the 21st Delta reading.
n = Delta Cycle Number – 1
= 21 – 1
= 20
Therefore,
Delta
n
The (-1)
term in the Delta calculation is used for polarity reversal of every other
calculated Delta reading. This makes all calculated Delta readings in the test the same
polarity.
