D.2.1 Basic terms and definitions (VLM mode)
T
current time period of the measurement in seconds.

exponential time constant in seconds for the giving time-weighting. The following time
constants are available: 100 ms, 125 ms, 200 ms, 500 ms, 1.0 s, 2.0 s, 5.0 s, 10.0 s.
W
frequency-weighting filter (HP, HP1, HP3, HP10, Vel1, Vel3, Vel10, VelMF, Dil1, Dil3,
Dil10, or Wh).
( )
