Ping, Pulse and Burst

Dear Atle

Could you please give me detailed explanation about what ping, pulse and burst used in Nortek HR Profiler mean? Sorry I am a newbie and I get confused with these technical terms.

Thank you so much

Best regards

Dear Thang

A ping is a term from military sonars decscribing a short pulse of sound.

A pulse is an acoustic wave train.  It means the same thing as a 'ping' but som people will only use 'ping' about audible sound.

A burst (at Nortek) either mean the same thing as a pulse ("a short burst of sound") or it means a set of data collected at a high sampling rate followed by calm ("collecting data in bursts").
