Recording baseline
1.
Click the
STANDBY
icon, from the main screen. The system will display the
signals from the two PAT™ channels, allowing the user to check the signals and
adjust the signal gain to properly visualize the PAT™ signals.. Signals from both
PAT™ channels (Probe A and Probe B) appear in the Trace Window. Visually
inspect the PAT™ signal for at least 1 minute. If the signal seems noisy, make sure
that the probes are not in touch with anything. As the system equilibrates, having a
few leaks in the first few minutes is normal. If you encounter more than 2-3 leaks
per minute, continue in Stand By mode for a few more minutes, until at least a
minute passed since the last leak, or refer to the troubleshooting section (Appendix
C).
NOTE
Cold fingers will have small PAT™ signals, with higher noise
levels.
NOTE
While in the
Standby
stage, it is possible to stop the test, deflate
& re-inflate the probes without losing the usability of the probes.
Once
Baseline
is pressed the probes cannot be reused after the
Stop Test
button is pressed.
NOTE
While in the Stand By mode, data is not recorded.
