Smoothing
The individual measured values are smoothed by means of digital filtering. The
smoothing can be adjusted in 4 steps, where the smoothing factor k multiplied by
the cycle time of the electronic module corresponds to the time constant of the
smoothing filter. The greater the smoothing, the greater the time constant of the
filter.
The figures below show the step response for the different smoothing factors
depending on the number of module cycles.
