3.10 Filtering noise
To filter the noise in the UV-signal, a moving average filter is used. The
averaging time is the time interval used for calculating the moving average of
the absorbance signal. A long averaging time will smooth out noise efficiently,
but it will also distort the peaks. Pe aks narrower than t he minimum peak width
value may be distorted. Because of this the averagin g ti me should be as short
as possible, see the table below. On delivery t he av eragin g time is set to 2.5 6 s.

2 Set the value, press
OK
. Use the fixed
values
between 5.12 and 0.08 s.
When monitoring more than one wavelength, the recommended
averaging time is a minimum of 1.28 s.
