User guide

Marker Usage - Up to 2 markers can be used to view data point details or deltas between 2 data points on the

graph. The active marker, the one with user input focus, is in red and the inactive marker is in black.

Marker Keys:

• Up Arrow – Place the active marker at the maximum value (the highest peak).

• Left Arrow – Move the active marker to the previous point. Tap to move one point at a time or hold to

incrementally skip points.

• Right Arrow – Move the active marker to the next point. Tap to move one point at a time or hold to incre-

mentally skip points.

• E – On/Off – Enable or disable the active marker.

• P – Cycle through peaks, placing the active marker at the next peak.

• 1 – Activate (and enable) marker number 1.

• 2 – Activate (and enable) marker number 2.

Viewing Data in a Table of Peaks

The peak table view displays the peak values most recently located in the sweep in a tabular form. The fields are:

• Sweep - The sweep number - a count of how many sweep have been made since the acquisition was

started.

• Timestamp - The time the sweep dataset was captured from the BDS receiver.

• Elapsed (ms) - The time (in milliseconds) between sweeps, giving an indication of data update rate.

• AGC - Automatic gain control indicator.

Note: Displays “Yes” if automatic gain control is used or “No” if manual gain control is used.

• Cal – Measurement calibration indicator.

Note: Displays “Yes” if the sweep data has been calibrated or “No” if it has not been calibrated.

Note: Check the probe connection to the receiver if the BDS GUI is indicating that the measurements are

not being calibrated.

• Arc – Arc detected during the displayed measurement cycle.

Note: This will display “No” if no transient event has been detected or “Yes” with a red background if a

transient has been detected during the measurement cycle.

• Peak – The peak number. Peaks are listed in ascending order (highest to lowest).

• F (Hz) – The frequency of the peak in Hz.

Selected amplitude. One of the following:

• Vrms (Volts) – RMS voltage.

• Irms (Amps) – RMS current.

• Z (Ohms) – Impedance in Ohms.

• P (Watts) – Power in Watts.

• P (dBm) – Power in dBm.
