dmm.filter.enable 
Attribute 
Enables or disables filtered measurements for the selected DMM function. 
Usage 
To read the filter enable: 
value = dmm.filter.enable 
value: Represents the present filter enable setting 
To write the filter enable: 
dmm.filter.enable = value 
value: Represents the desired filter enable setting. Use one of the following: 
  dmm.ON or 1 to enable filter measurements 
  dmm.OFF or 0 to disable filter measurements 
Remarks 
This is the filter enable setting for the DMM and it applies to the selected function as 
indicated by dmm.func. Querying the setting when the selected function does not 
support it will cause nil to be returned. 
This attribute indicates whether filtered measurements are enabled (or not). 
Changing functions with dmm.func (on page 13-137) will reflect the filter enable setting 
for that function. 
The dmm.reset() (on page 13-161) function disables the filter. 
Also see 
dmm.filter.count (on page 13-134), dmm.filter.type (on page 13-135), 
dmm.filter.window (on page 13-136) 
Example 
To enable the filter for 2-wire ohms: 
dmm.func = "twowireohms" 
dmm.filter.enable = dmm.ON 
dmm.filter.type 
Attribute 
Indicates the filter type for the DMM measurements on selected DMM functions. 
Usage 
To read the filter type: 
value = dmm.filter.type 
value: Represents the present filter type setting 
To write the filter type: 
dmm.filter.type = value 
value: Represents the desired filter type for measurements. Use: 
  dmm.FILTER_MOVING_AVG or 0 for moving average filter 
  dmm.FILTER_REPEAT_AVG or 1 for repeat filtering
