6–2 Blastware Operator Manual
If you have Events stored from several different Instantel monitors, you may find it useful to
create sub-directories in your Blast directory located on your computers hard disk. Name the two
directories differently and store your compliance and advanced Events separately in each of the
two directories.
6.2 Analysis Window
This analysis window displays all Blastmate Event waveforms including Series III and Series IV
compliance and advanced Events and Series II Events. Within this window, you can zoom in on
the waveforms to examine them, add post Event notes, convert the files to ASCII format, view a
report of the Event, calculate frequency at any two points on the waveforms, perform a Fast
Fourier Transform (FFT) on the waveforms, and display timelines.
To display the window, display the Event Manager and click on the Analysis icon found on the
Blastware Main Menu Icon Toolbar. The analysis window appears.

6.2.1 Waveform Window
This window displays the Events waveforms. One to eight waveforms may be displayed at the
same time, depending on the number of channels recorded in the Event.
a. Analysis Cursors
Use the analysis cursors to analyze any part of a selected waveform. The cursors indicate Event
time and amplitude.
(1) Moving the Cursors
The analysis cursors can be moved across the waveforms using either the mouse or the keyboard.
Using the mouse, click on the cursor to select it (it will flash) and then double-click at the new
position. You can also simply click and drag it.
