8) Distance between probes

These pages (which depend on the number of chords) provide the reference of the associated probes for
each chord.
For external probes, this screen also shows:



the installation type (direct/reflex),



the required distance between the probes.

9) Flow graph

The flow graph is a screen which shows the changes in a particular magnitude in the form of a curve.

5.7.2 Verification of the quality and consistency of the measurement

The information from the various pages in the "measurement" mode allow you to check whether your

measurements are consistent.

The gain and IQ (Quality Index) values also provide you with information on the quality of your

measurement.
