8510 offers the user a choice of three digital filters for
measurement, depending upon the external electrical noise. These are
sophisticated digital filters in the design which offer maximum noise
rejection for repeatable measurements.
Digital Filters:
ThedigitizationofsignalisdonewithSigma-Delta(Σ -Δ)modulator.The
outputisahighfrequencybitstreamwhichisfedtoadigitallter.The
lteringofsignalisperformedwithsophisticatedsinc(Sinx/x)lter.The
primaryfunctionofthelteristoremovethequantizationnoiseintroduced
duringthemodulationprocess.
Thelterlimitsthebandoftheallowedfrequencytosignicantlylowerthan
one-halfofthefrequencyofthemodulatoritself.Thisreducesthe1-bit
outputofacomparatorinaband-limited,verylownoiseoutput.Thecut-off
frequencyandthedecimateddatarateareappropriatelyprogrammedin
theinternalregisteredandtheoutputisarithmeticallyaveragedtoprovide
anaccuratenalanswer.
Highdecimationresultsinlowernoisebutataslowerthroughputrate.The
calculationofarithmeticmeanisaquickprocessathighclockspeedsof
themicroprocessors.

8510improvesthequalityofmeasurementsinthefollowing
ways:
(1) Lownoiseelectronics
(2) Shieldedelectronicsandcables.
(3) Differentialmeasurementstoreducecommon-modeeffects.
(4) Ratiometriccalculationstoreducedynamicerrors.
