Link Quality Analysis (LQA) Averaging  

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

This option sets the method used to update an existing link quality value stored in 

ALE  processor memory  when  the  new  link  quality  value  is  worse  than  the  stored 

value. 

 

The  option  can  be  set  to  either  replace  the  old  values  with  the  new  values  or 

replace the old values with different weighted averages of the old values and new 

readings. 

 

Averaging  reduces  the  effect  that  one  bad  reading  might  otherwise  have  on  a 

perfect  channel.    If  a  new  reading  is  better  than  an  old  value,  the  old  value  is 

replaced by the reading. There are 4 different averaging formulas available:- 

 

 

 

 

No averaging, replace the old values with new values 

(old+new)/2 

((3*old)+new)/4 

((7*old)+new)/8

 

 

 

 

Use the 

Scroll keys

 to select the LQA averaging value required 

(example “((7*old)+new)/8”:- 

 

 

 

 

When the setting required is selected press the 

key
