Appendix C 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 the file ‘refgraphtemplate.csv' provide on the application disc or available on
request through
[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 290W at 175Ω.
Once you have completed plotting the points in the CSV file, select File / Save As, and
save the file with a recognisable name and as file type .csv.
Follow the instructions in
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
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.
