flow and pressure sensors report their data.

DISPLAY AS ZERO
defines the zero band
threshold under which flow values
are displayed as 0, and the current
setting. The maximum zero band is
6.38%
. This function also applies to
gauge pressure readings when using
the optional barometer. For example,
a 20-slpm meter with a zero band
value of 0.25% would display as 0 slpm
for all readings below 0.05 slpm.
•
NUM OF DIGITS
sets the number of digits
to display flow readings on-screen and
in the serial data frame. Older devices
typically had one less significant digit,
and newer devices can be set to match.

•
AVERAGING
adjusts the time constants
of the geometric running averages for
flow and pressure. These are changed
independently via
PRESS AVG
and
FLOW
AVG
in the Averaging Menu, which also
displays the current settings. Values
roughly correspond to the time constant
(in milliseconds) of the averaged
values. Higher numbers generate a
greater smoothing effect on rapidly
fluctuating readings (maximum 255 ms).
