10.4 Data Filter
The Data Filter is a software filter that eliminates sensor noise and provides
more stable readings.
NOTE: YSI recommends using the default values for the data filter for
most field applications.
However, users who are primarily interested in a fast response from their
dissolved oxygen sensor should consider a change of the default time
constant setting of 8 seconds to one of 2 seconds. This change can be made
according to the instructions in Section 10.3.1 Changing the Data Filter
Settings below. The disadvantage of lowering the time constant is that field
pH readings may appear somewhat noisy if the cable is in motion.
