What would be the best way to filter (smooth out) my analog signal over a defined time period to keep it from jumping around?
Hi AC, most of our analog modules already a filter and sample option, wich are in mos cases enough. One example is shown in the screenshot attached, here is the AXL F AI4 used. If this is not sufficient you could create a median functionblock, but here do we have no ready made lib available. Take care, Frank
Okay thanks. I am making my own function block for scaling as there are some caveats that I would like to add and my application is a pretty targeted process. Erratic sensor performance could cause me some problems and I would like to add a filter to my custom function block. Thanks for your time!
Hey Frank, Thanks for the input. What I did was create my own filter function block using an average of values copied to variables over a specified time. It works smoothly in my scaling function block so I should have no more issues here. Thanks again! Have a great and blessed day!
