A few people tested it and some liked it and some didn't. I'd like you to read these in the attached zip file, test it and tell me what you think. In any case, I think you'll find it useful for certain applications. It is more advanced and powerful than classical first order filter. In the .zip file there is a small article that describes what I've done in SCL code. There is also Scilab script. Scilab software is free alternative to more powerful Matlab and can be downloaded from www.scilab.org I'd like to read you feedback. Attachment Smoothing filter.zip (981 Downloads)

Aret Posts: 2348 Rating: (259)	Hi, Pandiani! It's very nice, that you decided to share your code. Here are some suggestions: You can exclude low and high limit deviation. 63% shown in pdf file is (1-1/e). Suposeyouhaveinputsignalleapfrom0to1. Youcanmakefilterso,that"afterxsecondsfromtheleapoutputwouldbey%ofleapvalue". I use for these things this code Smooth_Rate :=EXP(LN(Smooth_percentage)Main_cycle_time/(Ts+Main_cycle_time)); result_value := result_value Smooth_Rate + temp_value * (1 - Smooth_Rate); Smooth_percentage is 0.01 (that means after TS seconds output would be 99% (because 1-0.01) of the leap". temp_value - current value from IO, result_value - value, that have been smoothed. Main_cycle_time is OB1 scan time, Ts - filtering time.

I intentially place deviations (hi limit and low limit) and it can be adjusted at will. However, user must first observe how signal is changing in steady state when there is only process and measurement noise and set these limits accordingly. Classical first order filter has one drawback, it acts on the signal in the same way regardles of magnitude of a change. For example if steady value is fluctuating +-0.1 around value 2 (max 2.1, min 1.9), than in case of step change from 2 to 3, filter will not act because this is obviously process dynamics and not random noise. Classical smoothing filter would provide response with same time constant no matter how change is big. This can sometimes hide very fast changes in the signal's amplitude which is not always desirable.

Of course there are people here whocould do it in no time using only left hand :) Regards, Pandiani
