Digital Filter Overview
The GDM-9060/9061 internal digital filter converts the
analog input signal into digital format before passing it to
internal circuits for processing. The filter affects the
amount of noise included in the measurement result.
The digital filter averages a specific number of input
signal samples to generate one reading. The filter type
defines the averaging method. The following diagrams
highlight the differences between the Moving and
Repeating filter using 4 samples per reading.
The Moving filter takes in one new
sample and discards the oldest sample
per reading. This is the default behavior
when the digital filter is not specified,
and is recommended for most
applications.

The Repeating filter renews a whole
group of samples per reading. This
method is recommended when using
the optional scanner.
