Average Use this to configure the number of intervals to average
for each force display. This can be entered in one of two
methods: x disp. or x a-ds. Press the UNITS key to
switch back and forth between the two choices.
The suggested method of setting the average is by picking
a value for x disp. Doing this insures that a multiple of the
display rate is always being averaged. This results in a
steadier weight display.
Use x a-ds if you need an exact number of A-D conver-
sions for your particular situation.
x disp. - 1 disp. is the default display when you access this
item. x is the number of display interval(s) over which the
data is internally averaged prior to being displayed.
The number of A-Ds averaged is based on the display
update rate you set under the Update menu item. Default
is 1 disp.
x a-ds - x is the number of a-d conversions to average for
each display.
The A-D weight conversion happens 60 times per second
in this indicator. Average is the number of conversions
you want to average for the weight that is displayed.
Default is 12 a-ds when Update is at default of 5 and x
disp. is at default value of 1.
Filter Use this menu item to configure the Harmonizer filter
settings. Constant and Threshld are the two items you
can configure in this submenu.
Constant - This number represents the amount of
filtering. Choose a setting between 1 and 10. Choose 1 for
the least amount of filtering but the fastest response.
Choose 10 for the most filtering but the slowest re-
sponse. Choose Off to disable the Harmonizer functions
and default to the lowest filtering.
Threshld - This is the window, in the current unit of
measure, within which weight changes are altered accord-
ing to the constant. 0.0 is the default value. You should set
the threshold value between 130 and 150% of the total
weight oscillations that need to be suppressed. If weight
changes are +20 lbs and -10 lbs, set this value to 130 to
150% of 30 lbs.
Harmonizer ® filter is used only if the
average value will not filter out the
vibration by itself. See Tips on
setting up and using the
Harmonizer filtering in Appendix
C.
Throughout the calibration process
values will change as you press the
UNITS key to change the unit of
measure.

Changing the update rate changes
the x disp. or x a-ds value based on
the new update rate.
