Page 41: Digital Filtering
Digital Filtering Tracer AV 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 6-3 shows the digital filter parameters on the CONFIG menu. DIGFL1 DIGFL2 DIGFL3... -
Page 42: Setting The Digital Filter Parameters
6.6.3 Setting the Digital Filter Parameters Fine-tuning the digital filter parameters greatly improves Tracer AV performance in heavy-vibration environments. Use the following procedure to determine vibration effects on the scale and optimize the digital filtering configuration. 1. In setup mode, set all three digital filters (DIGFL1, DIGFL2, DIGFL3) to 1. Set DFTHRH to NONE. Return the Tracer AV to normal mode. -
