8 Functions
To enable/disable the digital low-pass filter with the relevant bit, set the cutoff frequency in the Unit
operation settings to a value other than 0. If the cutoff frequency is set to 0, the digital low-pass
filter will not be enabled even if the relevant bit is set to enable.
The relevant bit is Ch£ Digital Low-pass Filter Disable. Refer to Ch
page 7 - 11 for details on Ch£ Operation Command.
 Attenuation Characteristics and Step Response Characteristics
(a) Attenuation characteristics
The attenuation characteristics of the digital low-pass filter for typical cutoff frequencies are
shown below.
Input signals are attenuated by -3 dB with the cutoff frequency. Note that the attenuation char-
acteristics shown in these graphs are based on theoretical values.

(b) Step response characteristics
The step response characteristics of the digital low-pass filter with the cutoff frequency set to 1
kHz are shown below. The step response time of the digital low-pass filter is 366.4 µs if the
cutoff frequency is set to 1 kHz. The step response time is the time until the output of the digi-
tal filter reaches 90% from 0% when the step signal is input to the digital low-pass filter.
