Abstract

Original Settings: Sensitivity was 2 mV/division, low-frequency filter was 20 Hz, high-frequency filter was 32 KHz, and sweep speed was 0.2, 0.5 and 1 ms/division. The machine used was a specially designed amplifier with short blocking time (1 ms) and low noise (0.5 μV RMS at bandwidth of 2 KH). Duration of pulse was not specified.
