5. Set digital filter for ACV.
The 2016 has a digital averaging filter to stabilize readings. The repeating filter takes the
set number of readings, averages, then updates the display. The moving filter throws out
the oldest reading, takes a new reading, then updates the display. The moving filter
updates the display faster, but takes longer for readings to stabilize.
Front panel:
• Press FILTER.
• When the display shows “010 RDGS”, select the number of readings to average (1 to
100) and press ENTER.
• When the display shows “TYPE:MOVING AV”, select MOVING AV or REPEAT
and press ENTER.
• The display will have the FILT annunciator lit to indicate the filter is on. Press
FILTER again to disable the filter.
