greater than 4°, the damping gradually reduces until at 32° difference,
no damping is applied.
Functions 6, 16 and 17 provide a means of calculating a moving
average. Since Deckman applies the filtering at 5 times per second
(5Hz), the second number in the filtering file is 5 times the time period
over which you want to calculate the moving average (i.e. for a 10
second moving average, enter 50).
Note.
It is highly unlikely that you will need to use functions 14 or 15 –
these are functions which are used elsewhere in Deckman (and on the
B&G WTP) and the information is contained here for the sake of
completeness.
To continue with our example from above, the file MA_TWD.fil would
be:
16 50
indicating that this is a moving average (filtering function 16) over a
time period (50, being 10 seconds at 5Hz)
Calibration
Another subdirectory of your
data
directory is called
calibs
. In here you
must create the calibrating files which you specified in the
[UserVariables] section.
Again here, the first number on the first line of the file specifies the
calibration type:
