Response Time (Smoothing)

The data outputted from the detector can be averaged to produce a smoother response. The smoothing width is set to the number of data points over which the data is averaged and can be regarded as a digital time constant. The smoothing range is settable from 1 – 50 , (in increments of 1) which translates to 0.1 – 5.0 s.

For most HPLC applications the default value of 1 (0.1 s) is satisfactory.

For GPC applications where peak widths can be >1 s, a value 50 (5 s) is recommended.
