PVInputFilter
If input noise or variations cause the low-order display digits to fluctuate so that the
displayed value is difficult to read, a digital filter can be inserted to smooth operation.
This filter provides a first-order lag calculation, which can remove more noise the larger
the time constant becomes. However, an excessively large time constant will distort the
waveform.

Analog Input Bias
Analog input bias is used to correct sensor-input characteristics, compensating lead wire
errors, and so on.
Analog Input Filter
The analog input filter is used to remove noise from an input signal. This filter provides
a first-order lag calculation, which can remove more noise the larger the time constant
becomes. However, an excessively large time constant will distort the waveform.
