Smoothing Filters

Blue: Raw data(tempraw2F), Green: Three-point moving average(tempphoton2F), Red: Three-point weighted(tempWeight2F).

Smoothing filters are calculated real-time at the Smart Sensor module level and the results are uploaded to the dashboard each period. The moving average is somewhat smoother but with greater time lag. With the weighted filter, greater importance is attributed to more recent data resulting in a closer fit to the raw data.

With reduced peak response, either of these filters is a good choice when setting alert thresholds.
