dV calculations
While the dV calculations for the first six dV readings are shown in
ing formula can be used to calculate any dV reading in the test:
(
-----------------
dV
=
----------------------------------------- -
Where:
Example – Calculate the 21st dV reading:
X, Y, and Z are the three A/D measurements for the 21st dV reading.
n = Reading Number – 1
= 21 – 1
= 20
Therefore;
dV
=
=
The (-1)
dV reading. This makes all calculated dV readings in the test the same polarity.
