First-Order Lag Filter

For noise sources other than power supply noise, the MX100 is equipped with a first-
order lag filter having output characteristics indicated in the figure below against step
input. The time constant of the first-order lag filter can be selected on the PC software
(MX100 Standard Software, MXLOGGER (sold separately), or the API for the MX100/
DARWIN (sold separately)).

If the first-order lag filter is applied to the input signal, low-pass filter frequency
characteristics shown in the figure below are attained.

Cutoff frequency

If the time constant of the first-order lag filter is set long, the cutoff frequency is lowered,
and frequency bandwidth that can be rejected is widened. Set an appropriate time
constant according to the frequency of the noise you wish to reject.
