Step 3: Input Compression

In this step, compressions of measuring points in certain areas of the measuring space can be specified for inputs by area.

The inputs for which compressions should be performed can be selected in the list ("Compression" column). In the area underneath, the input currently selected in the list is displayed.

"Compression Configuration" Area

There are two types ("Type") of compression:

  • Positioned Compression

    In this method, compression focuses on a freely selectable point.

    • "Gain" slider

      Degree of compression for the selected center ("Position")

    • "Position" slider

      Position of the center of compression

  • Edge Compression

    This allows obtaining a compression to one or both edges of the measurement range.

    • "Gain" slider

      Degree of compression

    • "Position" options

      The compression is done for one edge (Left Edge, Right Edge) or both edges (Both Edges) of the area.

"View" Area

In this area, the position of the measurement points and, therefore, the measure of the selected compression is graphically displayed. In the table, the percentage of measurements in the respective interval resulting from the compression is specified in the "rel. No.[%]" row.

Example:

In the figure below, the measurements were compressed with a gain of 75 to both edges of the measurement range.

The result of the compression looks like this (Scatter Plot):
