Digital Filter Mode Softkey
You can use the digital filter to obtain optimum results in measurement environments
with various levels of noise. When enabled, a software digital filter makes the displayed
measurement become a window average of the 4, 16, or 32 most recent measurements.
These correspond to the FAST, MEDIUM, and SLOW rates that you select with the
"Mode" softkey. The "U" unsettled indicator stays lit until the window is full, although
full resolution is shown with the first settled reading.
The digital filter affects the value shown on the Measurement Display as well as the
value used for references and delta computations on the Control Display when the 5790A
is in transfer mode.
Note
When you select a Digital Filter Mode of SLOW or MEDIUM, the displays
show an extra digit of resolution in some main input and WIDEBAND input
ranges. See Table 4-5 for details.

Digital Filter Restart Softkey
Use the "Digital Filter Restart" softkey to set the filter's restart floor. The restart floor
allows you to set the threshold of restarting the filter (as a way of rejecting inconsistent
readings). Readings over the threshold flush the filter and start a new running average.
Until the filter completely fills without being restarted, the "U" annunciator stays lit. The
restart settings are COARSE, MEDIUM, and FINE, corresponding to 1000, 100, and 10
counts, respectively. For sources that are unstable or noisy, you may have to use the
COARSE restart threshold in order to get settled readings.
Note
The extra digit of resolution obtained in the SLOW and MEDIUM Digital
Filter Mode settings does not apply to the number of counts selected by the
"Restart" softkey.
For example, suppose the instrument is in the 22V range and the digital filter settings are
Mode = SLOW and Restart = FINE. The display now shows the window average of the
most recent 32 readings with an extra digit of resolution. If after 20 readings the running
average is 10.000032 and the 21st reading is 10.000042, the reading does not restart the
filter because the extra digit of resolution does not apply to the 10-count threshold. If,
however, the 21st reading is 10.000132, it would trigger the 10-count threshold and
restart the filter. The "U" annunciator stays lit until the filter is full.
