Page 14: ３．６． Setting Of Slow Filter
There are two types, "fast trigger threshold" and "threshold". "Fast trigger threshold" is the threshold for detecting signals from FAST filters. "Threshold" is a threshold for identifying signals from slow filters. "AUTOMATIC setting" Set "0" to set the threshold automatically. "MANUAL setting" TechnoAP Co., Ltd. 14/42... - Page 15 In the manual setting of the threshold, first input a somewhat large value other than 0 (about 100) and observe the Input Rate. Find a value that gradually reduces the threshold and increases the Input Rate. Since that value is the boundary between signal and noise, set it to about +3 to +10. TechnoAP Co., Ltd. 15/42...
