Filter coefficient
Filter time constant = scan interval × filter coefficient N
The following table shows the relationship between filter coefficient N of the first-order lag
filter, scan interval, and time constant for filter coefficient N = 3, 10, 30, 100, and 300.

Description
When there is noise riding on the input signal, inserting a first-order lag filter has the effect of
rejecting noise. The larger the filter coefficient (time constant), the higher the noise rejection
effect. However, setting the filter coefficient too large will distort the waveform.
