Averaging; Turbidity Averaging - Hanna Instruments HI 9829 Instruction Manual

6.4 AVERAGING

Averaging is a software filter to minimize sensor
noise and provide more stable readings. Averaging
is particularly useful to get a representative reading
of the "average" value from flowing water.
Averaging will affect all measurements (except
Turbidity which can be set separately). This value
should be kept low if you want a fast response.
Press <Modify> to select the desired number of
samples to average. This value can be set from 1
to 20 samples. The default value is 1.
Note Each reading takes 1 second, so when logging the first sample will be
delayed by a few seconds if averaging is used.

6.5 TURBIDITY AVERAGING

Turbidity averaging is software filter to minimize
noise and provide more stable readings for
turbidity. This parameter can be set without
affecting the response times of other
measurements.
As is the case for the other measurements, averaging is useful to provide
representative readings of the "average" value in flowing water. Turbidity averaging
can be set separately because the optical turbidity sensor is more strongly affected
by bubbles and debris in the water stream than the other sensors.
Press <Modify> to enter the number of samples to average. The value can be
set from 1 to 20 samples. The default value is 1.
