Averaging

Here, you can select the desired measuring rate customised for your application, at the same time, the 
frequency also changes with which the measured value display is updated in the display. The lower 
measuring rate is suited to slower loads, the higher rate is suited to short, fast load changes. The higher 
the measuring rate, the better the detection of peak loads. However, with the high measuring rate the 
measured value display becomes slightly more disturbed, as the noise element increases.
You can select one of the following: 
Setting
