17.5 Understanding Level and Dynamic Triggering
Your 831C SLM provides 2 ways to calculate an event trigger. The event trigger
using Level Triggering is the static value you set. With dynamic triggering, the
event trigger level adjusts according to the background noise (and any
indicated offset) in each time history period.
In this section:
• 17.5.1 Understanding Level Triggering
•
17.5.2 Understanding Dynamic Triggering
17.5.1 Understanding Level Triggering
Using this method, all triggers are determined directly by their set threshold
level, which is static throughout the entire measurement. The threshold level
is calculated using all measured sound.
