Enable relative phase measurements (required for waveform reconstruction)
This option is used to enable relative phase calculations. Relative phase is the phase of a harmonic relative to its fun-
damental tone. It is required for waveform reconstruction.
Figure 16 Misc Dialog
Note: Relative phase calculations add significant processing time and will slow down the data update.
Enable Max AGC (for 8-bit mode only) - An advanced option used to lock the attenuators to the highest of the
voltage or current channel so that they are at the same level.
Free Run
Figure 17 Free Run Dialog
Use the Free Run scan mode to scan for data until the specified number of datasets have been collected or a timer
expires, whichever happens first.
If the “Continuous Scan” check box is checked, then data is scanned continuously and the timer is ignored. In Contin-
uous Scan, when the indicated number of datasets has been collected, the oldest data will be discarded to make
room for new data.
Example - If the “No. Dataset” field is set to 2000 and “Continuous Scan” is checked; the
BDS GUI will continuously scan for fresh data. After 2000 datasets are captured; the old-
est datasets are discarded to make room for new datasets.
