Averaging
This setting changes the amount of dampening, or filtering,
applied to sonic tracker and laser receiver measurements. It can
be thought of as the time period over which a running average
of the elevation measurement is calculated. A lower value will
average fewer elevation measurements, allowing the system to
react more quickly to smaller grade changes. This will make it
more susceptible to fluctuations in temperature or small
obstructions.
A larger value will average more elevation measurements,
preventing the system from reacting to undesirable items close
to the reference. This will also make it less susceptible to
fluctuations in temperature or small obstructions.
• Averaging value range – 1 to 100
• Factory preset – 50
