3.3.3.2.3 Moving average
The output value of the moving average filter is the average of the defined number of measurement values
which have been saved. When a new measurement value is added, the oldest is removed (moving filter).
As shown in the diagram, the moving average evens out the output value. In contrast to the median filter, it is
possible that with the moving average, the displayed measurement values were never measured as such. The
measuring frequency is not affected by this filter, but the response time is.
Number of measurement values required until the correct measurement value is displayed:
-
When set to "High", the distance must be stable for 4 + 16 measurement values before the correct
value is displayed
-
When set to "Very high", the distance must be stable for 8 + 128 measurement values before the
correct value is displayed
Example
Calculate the response time with a measuring frequency of 500 Hz
1 / 500 Hz = 0.002 s
Median = 7 / 2 (formula: measurement values / 2 ) = 4
Average = 16
Response time = 0.002 * (4 + 16) = 0.04 s = 40 ms
