Long-Term Fluid Level Averaging

roberto garcia 1 hour ago 0

Based on the IQAN Filter function documentation, it appears the standard Filter is intended for fast signal stabilization and its response depends on cycle time and filter percentage. For a fluid level application, we need to average the level over approximately 6 minutes to reduce false low-level readings while traveling on long ramps. Is the standard Filter function suitable for this kind of long averaging period, or would it be better to implement a custom moving average using sampled values stored in an array/buffer? For example, capturing one filtered level value every 72 seconds and averaging the last 5 samples to achieve an approximate 6-minute average.
