Page 16: Explanation Of Setup-Menu 6 - Sensor
Page 16 3.3.7 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 6 - SENSOR SETUP FUNCTIONS AND VARIABLES SENSOR FILTER The resistive signal of a sensor mirrors the actual level. This signal is measured several times per second by the F073-T. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real level as it will be fluctuating. With the help of this digital filter a stable and accurate reading can be obtained. -
