Details about the operation of the evaluation engine

The results evaluation engine works in three stages: first determines whether a .rec file exists (smoothed data). If not, it takes data from the .raw file, performs data-smoothing and prepares a .rec file. Then evaluation of data contained in a .rec file takes place in two processing phases.

The first processing phase

This phase involves the following steps:

• calculation of a "smoothed" version of the measured function,
• calculation of the 1st derivative of the measured function,
• transformation of the measured response to the frequency domain (complex locus),
• calculation of the time-constant spectrum for the "driving point",
• calculation of the "Pulse thermal resistance" diagram for the "driving point".
