Alias Filters
Using different filter selections (Wideband/Bessel IIR/Butterworth IIR/etc.) or different filter bandwidths can lead to phase mismatches between
channels.

Anti
-
aliasing is prevented by a steep, fixed frequency analog anti
-
alias filter integrated inside the Sigma Delta Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
always sampling at a fixed sample rate. This setup avoids the need for other analog anti
-
alias filters.
Directly behind the ADC, the high precision digital filter is used as anti
-
alias protection before the digital downsampling to the desired user
sample rate is performed. The digital filter is programmed to a fraction of the user sample rate and automatically tracks any user sample rate
selection. Compared to analog anti
-
alias filters, the programmable digital filter offers additional benefits like higher order filter with steep roll
-
off, a larger selection of filter characteristics, noise
-
free digital output and no additional phase shifts between channels that use the same filter
settings.
Sigma Delta Wideband
When Sigma Delta wideband is selected the built
-
in anti
-
alias filter of the Sigma Delta ADC
(no digital filter) is always in the signal path. Therefore, the anti
-
alias protection is always
active when Sigma Delta wideband is selected.
Bessel IIR
When Bessel IIR filter is selected, this is always a combination of the built
-
in anti
-
alias filter
of the Sigma Delta ADC and a digital Bessel IIR filter.
Bessel filters are typically used when looking at signals in the time domain. They are best
used for measuring transient signals or sharp edge signals like square waves or step
responses.
Butterworth IIR
When Butterworth IIR filter is selected, this is always a combination of the built
-
in anti
-
alias
filter of the Sigma Delta ADC and a digital Butterworth IIR filter.
This filter is best used when working in the frequency domain. When working in the time
domain, this filter is best used for signals that are (close to) sine waves.
Elliptic IIR When Elliptic IIR filter is selected, this is always a combination of the built
-
in anti
-
alias filter
of the Sigma Delta ADC and a digital Elliptic IIR filter.
This filter is best used when working in the frequency domain. When working in the time
domain, this is best used for signals that are (close to) sine waves.
Elliptic Band Pass IIR
When Elliptic Band Pass IIR filter is selected, this is always a combination of the built
-
in
anti
-
alias filter of the Sigma Delta ADC and a digital Elliptic Band Pass IIR filter.
Elliptic Band Pass filters are best used when working in the frequency domain. When
working in the time domain, this filter is best used for signals that are (close to) sine waves.
