The two upper panels shown in Figure 12 contain check boxes for configuring
selections of
averaged data
and
instantaneous data
separately for recording.
Instantaneous data
are processed on the basis of one raw spectrum
1
.
Aver-
aged Data are processed
on the basis of an average of multiple raw spectra,
depending on the selected averaging time. The selectable variables are de-
scribed in the table below.

The output variable
Height
should always be selected, as this facilitates further processing of
recorded data.
