Measurement principle
31xC CPUs use the measurement principle of actual value encoding. Here, they operate
with a sampling rate of 1 kHz. That is, a new value is available at the peripheral input word
register once every millisecond. This value can then be read via user program (e.g. L PEW).
The "previous" value is read again if access times are shorter than 1 ms.
Integrated hardware low-pass filter
An integrated low-pass filter attenuates analog input signals of channel 0 to 3. They are
attenuated according to the trend in the figure below.
