INPUT ZERO– The Input Zero offset can be slightly different between RF donuts. This
parameter accesses an auto-zeroing function that eliminates this offset. Independent
settings are saved for the 0.1:1 RF donut and 1:1 RF donut. The user can switch between
the two donut types without having to re-zero the input. The input needs to be zeroed only
when a new donut is introduced.
INPUT RANGE – The input range can be scaled to accommodate the signal that is being
measured. The input can be set to fixed ranges of 100mV Peak, 1000mV peak or Auto-
Ranging. For Auto-Ranging mode, the low range will be used for readings from 0.00 to
30.00 mV RMS. The high range will be used for 20.0 to 700.0 mV RMS.
INPUT MODE (ESU-2050P Only) – There are two input modes to allow for measurement
of continuous signals or pulsed signals. In Continuous Mode, the input is updated every
100 mS. This mode should be used for all Electrosurgical Generator waveform outputs in
general use generators. A number of Electrosurgical generator manufacturers offer
generators with pulsed outputs, where there is a long duty cycle (typically ½-second or
more) and the actual RF output of the generator is active for a brief period of time within
the duty cycle (typically 1/10
th
second or less). In Pulsed Mode, the input to the
ESU-2050P is only processed when a signal over 20 mV in amplitude is detected. The
ESU-2050P analyzes the pulsed input waveform and can provide the RMS readings for
either the overall input or the pulse only (see Diagram 1, Page 7).
NOTE: When set to Pulsed
Mode, a small graphic appears in
the upper right corner of the
screen to identify to the user that
the ESU-2050P is looking for a
pulsed RF input.
