++ If the channel is logged at a lower rate than the update rate an optional 
anti-alias filter can be applied which averages the values between each log 
event. In this case the effective update rate is equal to the logging rate. The 
anti-alias filter causes a phase shift equal to half the logging rate. The anti-
alias filter also affects the real time value of the channel which is filtered and 
updated at the logging rate or at 50 Hz whichever is greater. If the channel is 
not logged then the real time value is updated at 50 Hz. 
* First order RC type. The frequency is the 3 dB point.
