Page 48: Digital Filtering
Table 8-4. Conversion Factors 8.6 Digital Filtering The 590 AG Indicator uses averaged digital filtering to reduce the effect of vibration on weight readings. Adjustable threshold and sensitivity functions allow quick settling by suspending filter averaging, allowing the weight reading to jump to the new value. Figure 8-3 shows the digital filter parameters on the CONFIG menu. -
