4–42 Blastware Operator Manual
To set a trigger level, click in the Trigger Level value field. A maximum range for the Trigger
Level is indicated at the right once you place your cursor in the value field. The Maximum
Range specifies the measurement limits of the ISEE or DIN Geophone transducers. Enter the new
level in the value field.
Note: You can set both the Geophone and Microphone Channels as trigger sources. An Events
activity has to exceed only one of the trigger levels to start recording Event activity on all
channels.
Note: In certain situations, the actual trigger level may be marginally lower or higher than the
trigger level that you entered. This is because the monitor converts the analog signal it receives
from the geophone into digital data, which consists of a series of discrete values. If the trigger
level that you entered does not match one of these values, Blastware automatically sets the trigger
level to the nearest value.
ii Vibration Channels 4, 5, 6 Enable (Minimate Pro4 and Minimate Pro6)
To enable Channels 4, 5, 6, dedicated to overpressure monitoring on the Minimate Pro4, select
the check box next to Vibration Channels 4, 5, 6 Enable. Select the box next to the Linear Mic –
this will enable Channel 4 on the unit (Channels 5 and 6 are reserved for the ISEE or DIN
Geophone on the Minimate Pro6 for vibration monitoring).
If you have attached an ISEE Linear Microphone to the monitor and selected the ISEE Linear
Microphone option, the channel records air over pressure. In this section of the Recording Setup
dialog box, you can enable the microphone channel, select the channel as a Trigger Source, and
set a Trigger Level.
If you have attached an optional Sound Level Microphone (Part No. 720A5101) to the monitor
and selected the Sound Level Microphone option, the channel records acoustics. In this section of
the Recording Setup dialog box, you can enable the microphone channel and select the channel as
a Trigger Source. Afterwards, set the Trigger Level, A-Weighting or C-Weighting, and the
response of Fast or Slow.
1. To set a trigger level, click in the Trigger Level value field. A maximum range for the
Trigger Level is indicated at the right once you place your cursor in the value field. The
Maximum Range specifies the measurement limit of the ISEE Linear Microphone or
Sound Level Microphone, dependent on which microphone has been selected.
2. Enter the new level in the value field.
3. Select A-Weighting or C-Weighting, as required for your application.
4. Determ
ine the Response time and select “Fast” or “Slow”
a. In the next section of the dialog, Record Mode, you set the Sample Rate. If
you are only recording with a Sound Level Microphone, this may be set to 512:
However, if you are also recording with a Geophone, then set the Sample Rate
for that sensor.
Note: You can set both the Geophone and Microphone Channels as trigger sources. An Events
activity has to exceed only one of the trigger levels to start recording Event activity on all
channels. Note: In certain situations, the actual trigger level may be marginally lower or higher
than the trigger level that you entered. This is because the monitor converts the analog signal it
receives from the geophone into digital data, which consists of a series of discrete values. If the
trigger level that you entered does not match one of these values, Blastware automatically sets the
trigger level to the nearest value.
iii Vibration Channels 4, 5, 6 Enable (Minimate Pro6)
For Minimate Pro 6, enable Channels 4, 5, 6, dedicated to over pressure (see description above,
Vibration Channels 4, 5, 6 Enable) or vibration monitoring (refer to description under section
above Vibration Channels 1, 2, 3 Enable), by selecting the check box next to Vibration
Channels 4, 5, 6 Enable. Select the box next to the Linear Mic, the ISEE Geo, or the DIN Geo,
dependent on what sensor you have chosen and attached to the unit.
