Mechanism for triggering transient sensors
The sample rate is a constant value equivalent to 256 samples per cycle. When
a transient search is launched, each sample is compared to the sample from the
preceding cycle. The preceding cycle matches the middle of the tube; it is used as
a reference. As soon as a sample leaves the tube, the trigger event comes; repre-
sentation of the transient is then captured by the PowerPad
. The cycle preceding
®
the event and the three following cycles are saved to memory.
Here is a graphical representation of the transient capture trigger mechanism:
