USING FILTERS
The DF II Series digital force gauge supplies two
typesofltering.Filteringmaybeusefulwith
applications that are “noisy” or susceptible to
vibration effects, e,g., gauges measuring extremely
low forces below 250gf. Filtering may be used to
“dampen” the effects of these external conditions
in order to provide you with a more stable display
of information.
DISPLAY FILTER
The Display Filter is also called the Normal Filter.
The default display update rate for the DF II Series
is 10Hz. The display data rate may be reduced to
4Hz (maximum data averaging before values are
displayed). Adjusting the Display Filter affects the
instantaneous force measurement results displayed
in Normal mode.
PEAK FILTER
The Peak Filter affects the peak tension and com-
pression values. The default Peak Filter is set at 1
KHz. At this rate, the gauge updates quickly with
minimal averaging for peak load indication. The
Peak Filter may be adjusted to 10Hz, 100Hz, 1
KHz, and 7 KHz for the DFE II or 10 KHz for the
DFS II.
