Automatic Parameter Setting Function
The AQ6376 provides a fit area/mask area automatic setting function.
AUTO-FIX
ASE algorithm
The fitting algorithm is LINEAR.
Since the algorithm is LINEAR, the mask area setting will not be required.
Obtain the left and right fit areas (NA_Ri, NA_Li) of each channel by using the number of
detected channels as follows.
When the number of channels “n” is 1
Internally obtain the measurement resolution of trace B and the value of the noise
measurement point NOISE AREA in accordance with the resolution, and obtain the fit
areas from the following equations.
NA_Ri =
λ
i + NOISE AREA
NA_Li =
λ
i - NOISE AREA
When the number of channels “n” is 2 or more
Obtain the channel spacing (spacing of
λ
i) of each channel. Set the minimum spacing to
SPACING and also use the following to obtain the NOISE AREA.
NA_Ri =
λ
i + NOISE AREA ( i =1,2,…,n )
NA_Li =
λ
i - NOISE AREA ( i =1,2,…,n )

ASE algorithm
The fitting algorithm is LINEAR.
Since the algorithm is LINEAR, the mask area setting will not be required.
Obtain the left and right fit areas (NA_Ri, NA_Li) of each channel by using the number
of detected channels as follows (center points between channels are treated as NA_Ri,
NA_Li.)
When the number of channels “n” is 1
Internally obtain the measurement resolution of trace B and the value of the noise
measurement point NOISE AREA in accordance with the resolution, and obtain the fit
areas from the following equations.
NA_Ri =
λ
i + NOISE AREA
NA_Li =

NA_Li = λi - Δλ
NA_Ri = λi + Δλ
(where Δλ is ΔλL or ΔλR, whichever is smaller)
ΔλL = λi - λNi
ΔλR = λNi + 1
