4.2.2 Prepare Measurement Settings The reflected spectrum of the connected sensors can be checked under the Spectral View tab. Press the corresponding tab, on top of the graphical user interface, to select it (number in Fig. 4.2). Fig. 4.2 The FS22SI has two operation methods in terms of peak detection. The method to use must be selected using the “Ranges”... - Page 15 The definition of the sensors using the conventional method should use the following steps: Define the threshold (number in Fig. 4.2) so that: it is high enough for identifying all peaks, but small enough so that no side lobes are accounted. A good starting value is normally 5dB.
