4. Note The Dash Manager software will warn if the bandwidth is likely to be exceeded Maximum Logging Rate The maximum logging rate is limited to the update rate of the particular channel This varies significantly depending on the source of the channel For example some communications devices may only update at 50 Hz Also some internal calculations may be limited to 100 Hz Update Rate Each input is measured at a maximum rate which is dependent on the capabilities of the measuring device and may also vary between inputs on that device See Update Rate Summary Anti Alias Filter If a channel is logged at a rate slower than its specified update rate then an optional anti alias filter can be applied The anti alias filter is used to average out any variations in the signal between logged values This ensures that unrepresentative values are not logged MoTeC Configuration 39 The anti alias filter is implemented by averaging the channel values between logging events For example if a channel has an update rate of 1000 Hz and it is logged at 100 Hz then the preceding 10 samples will be averaged each time it is logged The anti alias filter is normally turned on by default when a channel is added to the logging list but may be turned off if required For normal purposes it is recommended that the anti alias filter is left turned on Note For some channels the anti alias filter cannot be turned on because the averaging perform
