ï‚· SCALar: Select scalar filter
ï‚· ADVanced: Select advanced filter
Details
Description This command is used to select the digital filter type. The SCALar filter is a simple
averaging type filter. The ADVanced filter is similar except that it incorporates a noise window to allow
faster response time to large signal step changes. The :NTOLerance command is used to set the
window for the ADVanced filter.
The number of readings that are averaged by the filter is set with the :COUNt command, and the
:TCONtrol command is used to select the filter mode (moving or repeating). The [:STATe]
command is used to enable or disable the filter.
Setting TYPE to NONE with MEDian:STATe set to OFF sets AVER:STATe to OFF.
