4.1 Baseline stabilization and digital offset
This functionality is recommended for time-domain applications needing very stable baseline, e.g.
sequences of pulse.
The baseline fluctuation comes from low frequency noise (e.g. 1/f noise in ADC) or from the
measurement side-effects.
The baseline stabilization can be enabled in both digitizer mode or in real-time averaging mode.
In addition, a digital offset can be applied after the baseline stabilization.

Continuous baseline stabilization example.
Principle
The baseline correction is not enabled by default. When activated, the baseline stabilization algorithm
consists in the main following steps:
1.
Baseline estimation
: The estimated baseline is iteratively adapted to the input data.
The baseline is estimated from sampling of the incoming input data, except when a pulse is detected
(pulse above or below a configurable threshold).
2.
Baseline correction
:
The estimated baseline is subtracted from the (unfiltered) input data.
3.
(optional) Digital offset
:
A configurable offset can be applied.
Baseline correction calculation period.
There are two modes for baseline correction calculation (see Figure below).
