Averaging
However, most of the averaging functions
can also be carried out directly in a measur-
ing menu, e.g. the ´User menu´
U2 Averag-
ing
. The operation of the different modes is
explained with help windows during the pro-
grammation of the averaging mode, e.g.
To calculate the volume flow from average
velocity and cross-section of a flow conduit,
there is a ´User meas. menu´
U3 Volume flow
(
s. 10.4.9
) as well as a assistant
menu
Volume flow
.
10.4.1 Damping of Meas. values by a Sliding averag. window
The first possibility of averaging concerns only the measured value of the indi-
cated channel and helps to damp measured values of an unstable or strongly
fluctuating nature, e.g. particular turbulent flows by means of sliding averaging
over a time window. The
Level of damping
can be set via the function
Damp-
ing
over the number of the respective taken values within the range of 0 to
99. The smoothed measured value also applies for all subsequent evaluation
functions. Damping can thus also be used in conjunction with averaging over
single measured values (s. 10.4.3) or at net measurements (s. 10.4.4) .
Meas. value damping over e.g. 15 values with:
Damping: 15
Continuous scanning should be switched off,
because otherwise the conversion rate would be
reduced too much with many measuring points:
Conv.rate: 10M/s Cont: -
Time constant (s) = smoothing / (measuring rate * measuring 1)
is calculated and displayed by the averaging wizard.
