Display Dampening

These factors are used to dampen the displayed values for the feedrate and speed.  Increasing the
value will cause more dampening of the displayed feedrate or speed. Note that the Speed Factor is
critical for the dynamics of the controller, and the Feedrate Factor is not. Set the Speed Factor for a
low belt speed. You have to tune the PID controller after changing the Speed Factor dampening.
See PID Parameters & Output Dynamic Protection on page 25.
