Filter Include
When set, only Unscaled values above the set point will be included in the filtered output. Set
to a low value to include all measurements. The default value is -10.

6 Typical Moisture Trace from a Hydronix Moisture Sensor in
Flowing Material
Figure 4 is a typical Raw Unscaled trace of a flowing material. The signal is erratic due to the
action of the material flowing past the sensor.

The positive peaks and negative troughs can be clipped using the Slew Rate Filters reducing
unwanted noise. After the signal has been through the Slew Rate Filters, and if selected the DSP
filter, the signal is smoothed further using the Filtering Time (Smoothing Time). The result is a
much clearer
representation of the moisture in the material (Figure 5).
Applying filters: Slew Rate + =light, Slew Rate - = light
