11.1 Analog inputs
11.1.1 Measurements channels
For each analog channel, several ‘subchannels’ are available.
Measurement labels with the characters ‘raw’ show the exact values in mV.
Measurement labels with the characters ‘_fi’ show filtered values.
The word ‘name’ in the table is a placeholder for the channel’s name.
Measurement label Function
raw_name mV value of sensor
raw_name_fi Filtered mV value of sensor
name Physical value of sensor
name_fi Filtered physical value
Filtered channels are routed through digital low pass filters:
– Vehicle Control Unit VCU uses A/D converter oversampling and digital filtering to re-
cording rate
– Digital filters eliminate ‘out-of-band’ noise
– Cut-off frequency automatically adjusted to recording rate
– Linear phase – no signal distortion
– Latency compensation – no filter delay in recorded data
