4.4 Filter setting Commands – FM, FL, UR
Using the commands FM and FL, a digital filter type and strength can be set which will
eliminate most of the unwanted disturbances. The command UR is used for the average
building. Please note that these filters are positioned immediately after the A/D Converter
and therefore affect all aspects of the weighing operation.
