o
Data Averaging
Use the Data Averaging feature to adjust the stability of your displayed
tension readings in processes where the material to be checked is
constantly moving. This feature averages all of the readings taken over
a user-selected duration, then posts that average to the display, in an
ongoing, rolling average. The duration can be set at 1, 2, 5 and 10
seconds.
Examples: The meter takes ~300 readings per second, so if a 1-second
duration is selected, the meter will average all 300 readings before
posting the average of those readings to the display. Likewise, if a 10-
second duration is selected, the meter will average all 3000 readings
before posting the average of those 3000 readings to the display.
