From 2 phone conversations with Stephen Osborne, 2/2/99: For each path: T == t_1 + t_2 T_i == 1/N sum ( T ) (An average total transit time in counts is generated as the sum of the times in each direction, divided by the number of samples-per-output.) delta_T == T - T_(i-1) >? T_threshold (The difference between each 200 Hz T in the current sample is checked as being within the spike parameter of the previous output sample's average T.) Note that: 1. Because the sum in both directions is tested, a real change in temperature is weighted twice as much as an instrument spike. 2. If more samples are averaged (10 rather than 20 samples per second output), a real temperature ramp will induce a larger delta_t, and thus be more sensitive to false spiking. 3. For a 15cm path sonic, a cycle slip = 1.25 C.
