Error
The digital filter is updated once per conversion. It is an “IIR” running average filter that emulates a simple
RC filter. The equivalent time constant is determined by the Filter Constant and the sum of the conversion
times for the two channels. The Filter Constant determines the weight given to the most recent
conversion. The following table lists the equivalent time constant for the three
times, which are dependent upon the two input mode selections. This filter delay is in addition to the PLC
scan delay.
