TECHNICAL MANUAL
FASTSTEP FILTER SENSITIVITY - PARMETER 43
Description: The number of A/D weight samples in a row where the weight has
to change before the Faststep Filter kicks in.
This controls the M2000’s sensitivity to a weight change greater
than or equal to the Threshold Value (Parameter 42).
Increasing this parameter makes the Faststep Filter Threshold less
sensitive.
Default Value: 8 samples
EXAMPLE 2: THE MAN ON THE SCALE.
1. Using the previous example, it takes a sudden weight change of over
12 lbs for the M2000 to switch to Faststep Filter mode.
2. This weight change must be recorded for at least 8 consecutive
samples (default value) for Faststep to kick in.
3. If vibrations are causing the M2000 to trigger Faststep Filter Mode to
early, we can increase the value of Parameter 43.
4. The M2000 now needs to see the weight change of over 12 lbs for a
longer period (more consecutive samples) before entering Faststep
Filtering Mode.
DISABLE FASTSTEP - PARAMETER 44
Description: This parameter disables the Faststep Filtering system altogether.
The M2000 will run with the Main Filter only. The response time for
the indicator becomes a function of Parameter 41.
PARAMETER VALUE FASTSTEP FILTERING
0 (default)
Enabled.
1
Disabled. (Main Filter Only)
SOME CONTROL/BATCHING APPLICATIONS MAY REQUIRE
THAT FASTSTEP BE TURNED OFF.
Faststep Filter Sensitivity is used to filter out false triggers
induced by vibrations. This parameter is typically only used in
extremely demanding weighing applications.
