- Noise level changes proportional to the square
root of the change in data rate. - For optimum selectivity and sensitivity the Peak
Width should not be chosen smaller than
necessary. - For 50 peak width between 0.3 and 0.6 seconds
Peak Width of gt 0.005 min is recommended, which
correspondes to 40Hz data rate. - For peaks narrower than 0.3sec at half height,
Peak Width of gt 0.0025min (80Hz data rate) should
be used. - For highest sensitivity in ultra-fast LC the slit
can be increased to 8 or 16nm.
