Blastware Advanced Module
____________________________________________________
6–20 Blastware Operator Manual
Note: The Histogram, Histogram Combo Record Mode consumes more battery power than
other record modes. We recommend connecting a monitor to the AC adapter or an external 12
VDC power supply.
ii Sample Rate
Advanced operations offer a range of sample rates. Refer to Section 5.5, Advanced Setup for a
table summarizing the sample rates and channels that may be used. Note that some sample rates
operate on specific channels only, or with specific recording modes.
Note: Eight channel monitors have been optimized for sample rates up to 65536 samples per
second. Four channel monitors may exhibit noise at sample rates greater than 16384
samples per second. Please contact the manufacturer for further information.
iii Interval
In histogram and Histogram Combo modes, the monitor stores summary information in intervals.
The monitor continues to sample data continuously at the chosen sample rate but only stores the
relevant peaks for the interval. Click on the Interval dropdown menu to select the duration of the
interval.
iv Record Time
Enter a fixed record time. The advanced module does not offer the auto record mode. Blastware
calculates the maximum available record time based on the amount of installed memory in the
monitor and chosen sample rate. Refer to Section 5.5, Advanced Setup, for more information on
monitor recording times.
v Auxiliary Trigger
The auxiliary trigger is an external triggering mechanism used to start monitor recording.
A variety of optional auxiliary triggers are available including the DS 20 Wire Trigger
(677A3901), and the Blastmate Trigger Cable (712A3901) used to connect several monitors
together for multiple point blast monitoring.
To use the auxiliary trigger, set the monitor in the single shot, continuous, histogram, or histogram
combo record mode. Set a fixed record time. The auxiliary trigger does not operate in the auto
record time setting. Click on the Auxiliary checkbox to display a check mark.
vi Storage Mode
Choose between full and summary storage modes. Full storage mode stores an Events waveforms
and compliance report, summary storage mode does not.
