4 FILTERS
For maximum flexibility in noise suppression and peak capturing ability of the
instrument there are two types of filters available to the user: analog and digital.
The analog filter is a simple RC network with a cutoff frequency of 2.5 Hz and
attenuation of 20 dB/decade. It can be either turned on or off.
The digital filter utilizes the moving average technique in which consecutive
readings are "pushed" through a buffer and the displayed reading is the aver-
age of the buffer contents. By varying the length of the buffer, a variable
smoothing effect can be achieved. The BGI is equipped with a buffer which can
hold up to eight readings. The number of readings to be averaged can be set to
1,2,4 or 8. The selection of 1 will disable the filter since the average of a single
value is the value itself.
