    FILTER The analog output signal of a flowmeter mirrors the actual process value. This signal is sampled several times per second by the F013-A. Consequently, random and/or fast changes in sensor signal may lead to instable displayed process values. With the help of the filter setting a stable and accurate reading can be obtained.
