Filter
Filtering stabilizes noisy measurements caused by noisy input signals. The Model 2520
uses an averaging type filter for all three measurements. The number of readings averaged
can be set between 1 and 100. However, the more filtering that is used (higher number of
readings averaged), the slower the measurement process becomes.
Averaging filter overview
When the averaging filter is enabled, the unit cycles through the complete delay-pulse
cycle for each filter sample measurement. (See
measurement results for all delay-pulse cycles are then averaged to give one "filtered"
reading.
If the filter is enabled in sweep mode (See
tively be repeated for the filter count number of times.
sweep from 10mA to 30mA with a filter count of 3. Note that three delay-pulse cycles are
performed at each step. In this example, three readings per measurement channel will be
returned by a READ? query.
