Damping value [04]

Sets the damping (filtering) for smoothing of sudden process value variations.
Setting range:
Factory setting:
The damping influences the reaction time of the device: When you increase the damping value,
the response time of the pressure transmitter to changes in the pressure measurement
increases.
● Reduce the damping value for faster response times. Specify a value that meets the
requirements regarding signal stability and response time.
