The present system and method preferably discerns a difference between the two wave shapes, e.g., between the signal’s initial square waveform (when the system is in the thermal mode) and a spiked waveform (when the system is in the plasma mode) by considering their Crest Factor, C, which for a waveform is defined as C = XPEAK / XRMS, where XPEAK is the peak amplitude of the waveform and XRMS is the RMS or time-averaged value of the waveform over a specified time interval.

Und die "spiked waveform" - Schwingungsverlauf mit Spitzen?
