The lumped individual sensors will be displayed in yellow when the mouse cursor is placed over the Lump number button at the bottom of the page.

  1. The sensor saturation must be taken care of while handling the lumps.
  2. The lump sensor threshold should be the same as the low-power detect threshold.
