This parameter allows you to reduce the oscillation or data peaks of the analog output. When it collects a new value, it analyzes the acceptance rate, which is why this new value will be accepted. If it is 1, the new value accepted will be the new value itself. If it is 2, it will be half the new value. NOVUS AUTOMATION 22/26... -
