Smoothing and filtering

The ∿ button on a channel row applies a centred moving average over a window you choose: Off, 50 ms, 100 ms, 150 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 1 s or 2 s. It takes the fuzz out of a noisy sensor without changing anything underneath: the raw data is kept and comes back with Off.

It applies to the graphs, the cursor readouts, the gauges, the statistics and the histograms, so a table built on a smoothed channel bins the smoothed values. It is saved with a layout, so a channel you always want smoothed stays that way.

• A histogram filter decides which samples are counted at all: throttle above 50, coolant above 170. Samples that fail are not in the table.
• Filtering in the estimated-acceleration settings is the width of the window used to differentiate speed. Wider is smoother and slower to react.

Smoothing changes how a value reads. A histogram filter changes what is counted. Acceleration filtering changes how an estimate is derived.
