The time constant is an averaging period. It is used to dampen the display. If
you are experiencing fluctuating flows, a longer time constant will slow down
those fluctuations. The display will update every second, but the displayed
reading will be the average over the last time constant period. For example, if
the time constant is 10 seconds, the display will update every second, but the
displayed reading will be the average from the last 10 seconds. This is also
Note: The time constant only applies to measuring velocity or volume when
using 960 series thermoanemometer probes or volume using the
capture hood.
Sample Time is the time period over which the Sample will be averaged. The
sample time can be adjusted when the data logging mode is set to Auto-
Save/RunAvg.
