Statistics
Exceedance Statistics
This example is intended to familiarize the user with calculating exceedance centile statistics (L
n
). L
n
is
calculated from measurements stored in the waterfall buffer.
L
n
is the amplitude at each bin which is exceeded by n% of the records in the waterfall. The SR785
simultaneously calculates L
n
at all frequencies in the spectrum. L
n
is commonly used to characterize
environmental noise levels.
1. Press [System]
Display the System menu.
Press
<Preset>
Preset returns the unit to its default settings.
Press [Enter] to confirm Preset.
Preset requires confirmation to prevent accidental
reset. Wait until the self tests are completed.
2. Connect the Source Output to the Channel 1 A
Input.
Setup to analyze the source output.
3. Press [Display Setup]
Select the Display Setup menu.
Press <Measure Group>
Change the Measurement Group.
Select (Octave) with the knob and press [Enter].
Choose the Octave group. Both displays are now
making Octave Analysis measurements.
4. Press [Source]
Select the Source menu.
Press
<On>
Turn the Source On
Press
<Noise>
Choose Noise as the source type. Octave
measurements are generally used to measure noise.
Press
<Type>
Change the type of noise.
Use the knob to select (Pink) and press [Enter].
Choose Pink noise. Pink noise rolls off at -3dB per
octave. This maintains equal power per octave band
and yields a flat octave spectrum.
