Overview
Damping is used to smooth out small, rapid fluctuations in process measurement. Damping
Value specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the transmitter will spread changes
in the reported process variable. At the end of the interval, the reported process variable
will reflect 63% of the change in the actual measured value.
Procedure
Enter the value you want to use for Temperature Damping.
The default value is 4.8 seconds. The range is 0.0 to 76.8 seconds.
Tips
• A high damping value makes the process variable appear smoother because the reported value
changes slowly.
• A low damping value makes the process variable appear more erratic because the reported value
changes more quickly.
• Whenever the damping value is non-zero, the reported measurement will lag the actual
measurement because the reported value is being averaged over time.
• In general, lower damping values are preferable because there is less chance of data loss, and less
lag time between the actual measurement and the reported value.
