Measurement Filtering
(Original Document)
Introduction
The type of filtering performed by the system is called "first order filtering." The filtering coefficient is editable from a programming console or through the program.
Mathematical Formula
The applicable mathematical formula is as follows:
where:
α = filter efficiency,
Mesf(n) = filtered measurement at time n,
Mesf(n-1) = filtered measurement at time n-1,
Valb(n) = raw value at time n.
You may configure the filtering value from 7 possibilities. This value may be changed even when the application is in RUN mode.
NOTE: Filtering is disabled in Fast Cycle mode.
