    14.1.1.4. Sharpness of Signals deltawaveC-P uses coded signals to ensure to detect signals also in case of noise. Coded means that deltawaveC-P makes phase shifts within a signal package. Picture 51 shows a sharp signal. You can see ca. 5 waves followed by a phase shift and another waves.

    There is basically no phase shift. This Picture 52 might result in misdetection of signals. Thanks to it’s sophisticated signal processing deltawaveC-P is able to handle diffuse signals until a certain limit. Nevertheless sharp signals should be aspired.

  • Page 124 User manual deltawaveC-P uses sophisticated algorithms to separate desired signals from interfering signals. These algorithms are mainly applied when having the auto window function activated. But especially when measuring at very small pipes interference might occur anyway. In that case the user can separate signals (in order to filter out the desired signal) manually in the oscilloscope mode.

    Quality The quality parameter represents the “thoughness” of the internal filter. Filter means that deltawaveC-P checks each signal if plausible or not using the quality parameter. When choosing quality 0 there will be no filtering. That means that each signal is used for measurement even the bad (and maybe wrong) ones.

You will get two files, readme.txt and sysctrol.hex. The file readme contains information of how to update your deltawaveC- P and also information about the new functions / changes to be made by this update.
