Method for the analysis of laser Doppler signals with the aid of a computer

To supplement existing systems for the analysis of laser Doppler signals, a method was developed for performing the signal analysis with the aid of a computer. In principle, the program classifies the digitized signals and evaluates the mean frequency of those judged valid. The method can be used either on-line, without storage of the raw data, or in an off-line mode, storing the raw data before performing data reduction. The programs produced are described together with a brief description of system-dependent errors.
