measurement provides the weighted average midpoint based on the number of occurrences of each ‘nT’ pit/space
width. The measurement value can be used to determine not only the differences of the midpoint of different ‘nT’
width pits, but also the overall best data waveform voltage threshold setting to use for all ORMs.

Display Options

ORM parameter calculations can be displayed, histogrammed, and trended in a variety of ways.

DISPLAY TYPE

VALUE DISPLAYED

Parameter
Statistics Off

Single value of the middle level for all pits/spaces of interest for last acquisition.

Parameter
Statistics On

Overall average, minimum, maximum, and sigma of the single middle level value
calculated per acquisition, for all acquisitions since the last CLEAR SWEEPS operation.

nT Table

List of the middle level values for each group of pits/spaces of common ‘nT’ width for the
last acquisition.

Histogram
Function

Histogram of the single middle level value calculated for each acquisition for all
acquisitions since the last CLEAR SWEEPS operation.

Trend Function

Trend of the single middle level value calculated for each acquisition for all acquisitions
since the last CLEAR SWEEPS operation.

Example

This waveform contains thousands of pits. In ‘nT Table’ mode,
the middle levels are displayed for each nT index. These values
are the midlevels of the tops and bases for pits/spaces within the
nT indices.

The overall middle level is calculated based on a weighted
average of the middle level for each nT. This value is the overall
best threshold value for all pits/spaces within the 3T to 11T
range.
