NOTE:
While setting up the meter for the first time or doing trouble shooting, the averaging time should be set to
a short time duration (10 seconds or 3 seconds) for rapid response to any parameter changes. The averaging
time is equivalent to a radio circuit time constant. For any step change in the input, it will take approximately 3 to 5
time constants to reach a 90% Full Scale response. Once the meter is properly set up you can change the
Averaging time to a longer setting such as 60 seconds, to smooth out the data. Regardless of the averaging time,
the display refreshes every 3 seconds.
