Data Averaging
Use this feature to adjust the stability of your displayed tension readings. It
allows users to select the duration the meter takes tension readings over before
averaging all of the readings and posting that average to the display. 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. Options are: 1, 2, 5 and 10 seconds. This is a rolling
average, meaning that only the readings taken in the last 1, 2, 5 or 10 seconds
(your choice) will be averaged and displayed.
Note: This feature is primarily used in processes where the material to be
checked is constantly moving, such as coil winding and textiles.
