Chebyshev USAGE: =FILTTYPE,<A|G>,CHEBY<,N,GSTOP,FSTOP>
The Chebyshev (type II) is the default final output filter. The N, GSTOP and FSTOP
parameters are optional and if not used, then the default is 8th order with 0.01 stop gain
(-40dB) and the stop band frequency will be 0.545*data rate. If optional parameters are used,
then both parameters must be specified and the desired data rate should be configured prior.
Optional parameters:
N is filter order; integer with range 1 to 8
GSTOP is stop band gain as a unitless ratio; floating-point value, typical range is
between about 0.1 to 0.001. To convert from dB units: GSTOP = 10
(dB/20)
or according to
Table 8-2 below:
Table 8-2: GSTOP Gains
FSTOP is stop band frequency in Hz units; floating-point value, range is 0 to about 3000
Hz

FILTTYPE,<A|G>,<CHEBY|BUTTER|AVE>
Note: the unit will not respond back optional parameters for Butterworth or Chebyshev types.

Chebyshev applied to gyros; this is
the same as default for a data rate
