You can choose the number of measurements for calculating the flow. (One measurement is taken every 20 milli-seconds).
The flow is a difference in the values of filtered weights for a number of configured measurements. The flow is calculated using the following formula:
Flow n = Valn - (Valn-b)
where:
-
b = the number of measurements for calculating the flow
-
Valn = the filtered weight value at the moment n
-
Valn-b = the filtered weight value at the moment n-b
At each instant, the frequency is calculated and implicitly sent back to the processor as the weight measurement, in order to allow threshold corrections.
The flow is calculated in high resolution format.
This calculation can be done on 2, 4,8, 16, 32 or 64 measurements.
By default, the number of measurements is 4.
The following figure illustrates a calculation on 4 measurements.
The following table shows the procedure for defining flow calculation.
