24. GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Adaptive Filter Threshold
A threshold which causes an adaptive moving average filter to be reset to the
latest reading when the accumulated difference between individual readings and
the filtered reading exceeds that threshold. Adaptive moving average filtering
allows a meter to respond rapidly to actual changes in signal while filtering out
normal noise. The accumulated difference is also reset to zero when the latest
reading has a different polarity than the filtered reading. A low adaptive filter
threshold is normally selected. A high filter threshold should be selected if the
signal has large transients.
Alarm, Latched
An alarm which stays actuated until reset.
Latched alarms can shut down machinery or a
process when an operating limit has been
exceeded, or maintain an alarm condition until
acknowledged by an operator.
Alarm, Non-latched
An alarm which changes state automatically
when the reading rises above a specified limit
and changes back automatically when the
reading falls below a limit.
Autofilter
A selectable digital filter mode which automatic-
ally selects an appropriate moving average filter
time constant from 0.08 sec to 9.6 sec for the
encountered noise condition.
Auto-tare
A selectable meter operating mode, where the
first reading following power-on or meter reset is
used to zero the display. Further readings are then relative to this new zero.
Batch Average Filter
A digital filter mode which averages 16 readings and then displays the average.
Readings are taken at 60/sec with 60 Hz power and 50/sec with 50 Hz power.
Counts
The reading displayed on the panel meter ignoring the decimal point. One count
= one unit of resolution.
Custom ASCII Protocol
A simplified, short protocol for use with these
panel meters. It allows 31 digital addresses.
Not an industry-standard protocol, like the more
complex
Modbus protocol
, which is also offered
with the meters.
Deviation Band
A band in counts which controls relay action
symmetrically around a
setpoint
. The relay
actuates when the reading falls within the
