Segments

Frames at 5,000 total, 1.0 ms per frame. Cycle from the MAP channel of the DAQ log (median interval) when one exists, else from per-pixel dominant frequency. Boundaries, expectations and the segment design are provisional (admission (project lead); no comparison defined).

Metrics

Values at the run setting. Red: range across the sensitivity grid (12 baseline × sigma settings, 3 trackers) where the spread exceeds 25 % of the median; not reportable as a value. Beat metrics are not varied over the grid. Dominant frequency over the whole analysed window: 6.500 Hz.
