Using a Conversion-Loss Data Disk with the ESA or PSA Series Analyzers

Using a Conversion-Loss Data Disk with the ESA or PSA Series Analyzers

The conversion-loss data for your mixer can be quickly loaded in the memory of an ESA or PSA series analyzer from a floppy disk. The following process works with the floppy disk provided by the factory with your new mixer, or with one that you have stored the correction data. This process eliminates the time consuming and sometimes error-prone process of manually entering the data from a table.

Loading Data

1.Insert the conversion-loss data disk (from the factory or your own) into the floppy drive of the analyzer.

2.Press File, then Load.

3.Press Type, More, then select Corrections.

4.Press Directory Select, highlight drive -A-, then press Directory Select again.

5.Use the down arrow to select the file. The factory supplied disk has a file with the OTH extension which places the data in the corrections set “other” location.

6.Press Load Now to load the conversion loss values into the correction table of the analyzer.

Viewing Data

1.Press Amplitude, More, Corrections, Other (ON) and Edit to view the correction values.

2.Use the front-panel knob or up/down arrows to scroll through the list of correction values.
