This monitor measures the peak angle reached from the yield point and checks that the peak angle is within the limit.

Parameter

Description

Gradient Angle Window

Specifies Angle Window:

  • For Hard Joint: Angle Window = 1 deg.

  • For Soft Joint: Angle Window = 20 deg.

  • Manual: Manually set Angle Window.

Angle Window

Available when Gradient Angle Window is set to Manual. Must be > 0 and <= 100.

Yield Point Percentage

Must be >= 20 %

Trigger Torque

The angle measurement starts at this trigger. Must be > 0 and < Tool MaxTorque.

Damping

Frequency in which the gradient is being calculated. Must be > 0 and < 100 and < Angle window.

Low Limit

Lowest acceptable angle. Must be >= 0

High Limit

Highest acceptable angle. Must be > 0

Torque Filter Type

The type of the filter:

  • None: No filtering of the torque is used. The raw values are used as-is in the gradient calculation.

  • Five-point: The torque value used in the calculation are filtered using a sliding average filter over 5 torque samples.

  • Low pass: The torque values is filtered with a simple discrete Infinite Impulse Response filter.

  • Sliding Average: The torque values used in the calculation are filtered using a sliding average filter over a Number of Samples specified by the use.
