Filtering

The filtering feature changes the response time of the device to smooth variations in output
readings caused by rapid changes in input. You can adjust the filter time constant (in seconds)
using the PV_FTIME parameter. Set the filter time constant to zero to disable the filter feature.
7.11.4

Signal Conversion

You can set the signal conversion type with the Linearization Type (L_TYPE) parameter. You can
view the converted signal (in percent of XD_SCALE) through the FIELD_VAL parameter.
You can choose from direct, indirect, or indirect square root signal conversion with the L_TYPE
parameter.
7.11.5

Direct signal conversion

Direct signal conversion allows the signal to pass through the accessed channel input value (or
the simulated value when simulation is enabled).
