Configuring the Detector
Adjusting the "Smoothing" Mode
The "Smoothing" Mode options allow you to reduce noise coming from the detector. There are
two available options, RSP and PW. The two options provide different ways to set the
parameters; however, both allow you to "smooth out," or filter the peaks in the data to reduce
noise. When you press the SMTH softkey from the Configure menu, the Detector displays
the Smoothing Mode Screen. This screen allows you select one of the following:
• RSP - Response Time in Seconds
Indicates how fast the slope of a peak changes.
• PW - Peak Width at Half Height in Seconds
Allows you to set the smoothing parameter in terms of how far the peak rises.
For information on selecting RSP or PW as a control parameter, see Chapter 3, Using Man-
ual Mode or Chapter 4 Using Method Mode. For information on how to select the correct
value for the RSP or PW, see Chapter 8, Principles.
