Pulse Energy (in Joules), Time Stamp (in Seconds), Probe Temperature (in degrees
Celsius), and Error Flag
The Error flag is decoded as follows:
0 = no errors in batch.
1 = out of range error for one or more pulses in batch.
2 = over temp error for one or more pulses in batch.
3 = out of range and over temp errors for one or more pulses in batch.
Read to Display
Sets the target for any pulses read from instrument memory to the application displays.

Autoset
Calls the Autoset VI. This VI attempts to find the best range and trigger level for the
signal being measured. The flow is:
1. Set the trigger source to internal.
2. Set the trigger delay to 0ns.
3. Set trigger level to 7%
4. Set Range to top Range.
5. Test for triggering.
If no triggers are present, the VI reduces the range to the next lowest and tests for
triggering. It repeats this process until the lowest range is reached. If no triggers are
present, it then reduces the trigger level 1% at a time until either triggering occurs or the
minimum trigger level is reached.
When a trigger is found, the VI returns the discovered setup to the Instrument Controls
Display.
Zero Baseline
The DC level of a pulse for a Pyroelectric sensor is dependant on the average energy. If
the DC level drifts out of range, pressing this button will cause the instrument to readjust
the DC level in the instrument to compensate for this drift.
