Modulation signal type: Type of the waveform used for modulation and demodulation.
First filter notch
(LI-Module): The LI module only works properly if a low-pass filter is applied to the
demodulated signal in order to filter frequency components located at
the modulation frequency. This filter is implemented as a “moving aver-
age” filter in the digital domain. The first notch of such a filter is at the
modulation frequency. In order to reduce noise this first filter notch can
be set to lower frequencies. It must be taken into account that a mov-
ing average filter introduces a linear phase shift to the output signal of
the LI module. At the first notch frequency the phase shift is -180 °. As a
consequence, lowering the filter frequency reduces the maximum
available regulation bandwidth !
AIO1out selection: The AIOout output channel can be configured to display the LI- or PDH-
error signal. Please note that the bandwidth of this signal is limited to the
output channel bandwidth.
