FIG. 8-25 REMOTE SETPOINT MENU/SETTING AVERAGING
• The averaging parameter is most often set when using any
device that outputs an erratic signal (e.g. a flow meter).
The averaging function takes a number of input (voltage
or amperage) readings and averages the input signal to
improve stability. The improvement in stability however,
is at the expense of response time. A setting of 1 average
takes 50 milliseconds. A setting of 20 averages takes 1
second.
• b.The averaging function is a running average, where the
input signals are totaled and the total is divided by the
number of set averages (1-20). The Default setting is 20.
The instrument reads one new signal plus the last 19 sig-
nals and repeats the averaging process again.
• c.For example:
An averaging setting of 20. The instrument reads 20 of the
most current input signals (amps or voltages), totals the
signals, divides by 20, drops down one, reads one new
signal along with 19 of the old readings, totals the signals,
divides by 20, drops down one, etc.
• Be careful when setting averaging parameters. Set the
smallest value that provides the most stable set point read-
ings.
• Press the Clear button to clear the value.
• Use the numeric keys to set the new value.
• Press the Enter button to accept the new value.
