15 Appendix D Creating a power reference curve
The Rigel Uni-Therm is able to automatically compare the measured power distribution graph against a preset template or reference curve. You will require two reference curves, one for the upper and one for the lower limits.
Open t he file ‘refgraphtemplate.csv' available at: http://www.rigelmedical.com/rigel-downloads?id=Application
Notes
[REFGRAPH] and [END] must remain at the beginning and end of the file.
“Upper Curve” is the name of the graph and can be changed. This will be the name of your graph once uploaded to the Rigel Uni-Therm.
10 is the number of points on the graph, this can be changed but the lines of data must reflect this number.
Column A is the X axis, and represents the Load (Ω). Column B is the Y axis and represents the Power (W). In this example, line 3 is a plot of 25W at 35
Ω.
Once you have completed plotting the points in the CSV file, select File and then
Save As. Save the file with a recognisable name including RefGraph and with a
.sss extension, e.g. RefGraph.sss.
A Rename message should appear as you have changed the file extensive from csv to sss
Follow the instructions in this manual
to upload the reference graphs;
To use the uploaded reference curves, go to MENU / SETUP / TEST
SEQUENCES. Then either add a new test sequence, or edit an existing test
sequence as covered in this manual.
58 | Page Rigel Medical Uni-Therm user Manual V1.4
Once you have added a Power Graph test. Highlight the test and select EDIT /
REF GRAPH and UPPER or LOWER. Highlight the correct file and SELECT.
This will set the new file as the upper or lower limit of the graph.
Select the UPPER and LOWER limit graphs by pressing UPPER and LOWER respectively and select the corresponding graphs;
