NOTE While the filter processes readings, the FILT annunciator blinks. Readings that
are being displayed while the FILT annunciator blinks are not final filtered read-
ings. When the FILT annunciator stops blinking, the filter has settled.

Moving and repeating filters
Filter window
The digital filter uses a “noise” window to control filter threshold. As long as the input
signal remains within the selected window, A/D conversions continue to be placed in the
stack. If the signal changes to a value outside the window, the filter resets and the filter
starts processing again starting with a new initial conversion value from the A/D converter.
The noise window, which is expressed as a percentage of range (or maximum temperature
reading), allows a faster response time to large signal step changes (e.g., scanned
readings). A reading conversion outside the plus or minus noise window fills the filter
stack immediately.
