Abstract:
1. A processor-based method for characterizing an elongate textile product to be tested that is moved along its longitudinal direction, the method comprising the steps of: detecting readings of a characteristic of the elongate textile product to be tested along the longitudinal direction of the elongate textile product to be tested with a sensor, determining, with a processor, values of a parameter of the elongate textile product to be tested from the readings, providing an event field that contains at least a part of a quadrant of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, having an abscissa that defines an extension of parameter values in the longitudinal direction and an ordinate that defines a deviation of the parameter from a desired value, and determining densities of events in the event field from the values of the parameter and their extensions in the longitudinal direction, wherein a body of the elongate textile product to be tested is represented in the event field as an area that is delimited by one of the abscissa and a first straight line running parallel thereto, by one of the ordinate and a second straight line running parallel thereto, and by a third line in the event field that follows a constant event density.
