CHAPTER 6 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
6-4 Average Processing
This function averages a specified number of measurements.
It is useful for preventing readout from fluctuating due to unstable input such as spike
noise.
The average processing of the K3MA provides a simple average (an arithmetic mean).
The number of measurements for averaging that can be specified is as follows.
- No average processing (the number of measurements for averaging: 1)
-2
-4
-8
The number of measurements for averaging is the number of times the process value
is updated as described in "Measurement".
The following shows the relationship between the number of measurements for
averaging and the interval at which the process value and comparative output are
updated.
