Building Highpass Filters
You can easily install simple, RC highpass filters in the SC-2071 board on any input channel.
The filters are useful for accurate high-frequency measurement and low-frequency noise
rejection. By substituting resistance and capacitance values into the following formula, you can
calculate a simple, one-pole RC filter to have a -3 dB point (cutoff frequency):
fc =

RC)
(Formula 3-2)
The response rolls off at a rate of -20 dB per decade drop in frequency thereafter. A Bode plot of
the amplitude versus normalized frequency is shown in Figure 3-10.
