Operator's guide

Data is taken from this tap and passed through a band-pass filter

before it is examined. This filtering maximises sensitivity within the
frequency band of interest whilst filtering out noise outside this band.

The corner frequency of the band-pass filter depends on the values of
tap and filter:

filter

= 1 creates a filter with a corner at 10 % of the Nyquist

frequency for tap tap (i.e. 5 % of its sample rate);

filter

= 2 creates a filter with a corner at 20 % of the Nyquist

frequency for tap tap (i.e. 15 % of its sample rate); and

filter

= 5 creates a filter with a corner at 50 % of the Nyquist

frequency for tap tap (i.e. 25 % of its sample rate).

When LOWLATENCY is active, this command is used to set the tap used

as the source of low-latency data. Data from this tap is decimated
inside the DSP and output on a separate stream at a rate 10 times

slower than the configured rate.

MICROG

Syntax: level MICROG

Sets the output level above which a trigger will be declared when

using the LEVEL triggering algorithm. level is measured in counts.

HIGHPASS

Syntax: filter HIGHPASS

Instructs the DM24 to pass the stream(s) which generate LEVEL triggers

through a high-pass filter before examining them. filter can be:

1, for a 100 s high pass filter;

2, for a 300 s filter;

3, for a 1000 s filter; or

0, to disable the high pass filter.

PRE-TRIG

Syntax: time PRE-TRIG
