Change Fast Time Constant

The Fast Time Constant is the value to be used when the Fast Counter reaches zero.
1.  To change the value for the Fast Time Constant, highlight Fast TC from the Filter menu and     
     click Edit Variable.
2.  Type in the new value and click Change. (NOTE: The maximum time is 210)

Change Fast Counter

1.  To change the value for the Fast Counter, highlight Fast Ctr from the Filter menu and click
