5.4 Filter setting Commands – FM, FL, UR
Using the commands FM and FL, a digital filter type and strength can be set which will eliminate
most of the unwanted disturbances. The command UR is used for the average building. Please
note that these filters are positioned immediately after the A/D Converter and therefore affect all
aspects of the weighing operation.
FM Filter Mode FIR / IIR [Register = 2110, Type = Int32 ]
Choose filter mode, permitted values are “0” for IIR and “1” for FIR.

The digital IIR filter works as a low-pass filter of 2
nd
order with Gaussian characteristic, damping
is 40 dB/decade; see table mode 0. The digital FIR filter works as a low-pass filter with quick
response; damping see table mode 1. Factory default: 0
FL Filter settings [Register = 2106, Type = Int32 ]
Command for setup cut off frequency, permitted values are 0 … 8.
