7. Figure 9 3 Flow Diagram for Counterpart Digital Filters 9 6 1 DIGFLx Parameters The first three digital filtering parameters DFLTR1 DFLTRL2 and DFLTR3 are configurable filter stages that control the effect of a single A D reading on the displayed weight The value assigned to each parameter sets the number of readings received from the preceding filter stage before averaging see Figure 9 3 The overall filtering effect can be expressed by adding the values assigned to the three filter stages DFLTR1 DFLTR2 DFLTR3 For example if the filters are configured as DFLTR1 4 DFLTR2 8 DFLTR3 8 the overall filtering effect is 20 4 8 8 With this configuration each A D reading has a 1 in 20 effect on the displayed weight value Setting the filters to 1 effectively disables digital filtering 9 6 2 DFSENS and DFTHRH Parameters The three digital filters can be used by themselves to eliminate vibration effects but heavy filtering also increases settling time The DFSENS digital filter sensitivity and DFTHRH digital filter threshold parameters can be used to temporarily override filter averaging and improve settling time DFSENS specifies the number of consecutive scale readings that must fall outside the filter threshold DFTHRH before digital filtering is suspended DFTHRH sets a threshold value in display divisions When a specified number of consecutive scale readings DFSENS fall outside of this threshol
