The filter order is defined in multiples of 250 µs (e.g. 3 for a master with a 1 ms cycle), 3 is the default value
that suits applications with 1 kHz EtherCAT masters perfectly. This number defines the length of the ring buffer
that will be used as a MAF storage. At each 4 kHz cycle, the values in the buffer are summed up and divided by
the buffer length to produce the output.
3.1.8.3.10.4.1 Command smoothing
3.1.8.3.10.4.2 Usage
In object 0x2027, the expected update rate and/or desired smoothing can be configured:
Subitem 1 switches the feature on (1) or off (0)
Subitem 2 selects the order of the filter
The Order is allowed between 0 (no action) and 31. The filter is enabled by default with an order of 3.
The order reflects the amount of steps the algorithm “looks back”.
