The SMOOTHING FACTOR is a modifiable (firmware 6.x and higher) number in the CASP tables. It directly effects the time between charge and discharge voltage value samples which, in turn, effects the quality of the voltage slope data used for slope sensing termination, graphic plots and various other calculations. Its most observable effect is on the resolution and appearance of the graphic plots of voltage and slope produced by the CASP/1500, /2000, /2100, /2200, /2300, and /2500. Also, even though the CASP/1100 and /1200 do not plot graphs, the SMOOTHING FACTOR is still important and is used for both curve calculations. The CASP/1100, /1200, /1500 and /2000, with software version 6.x, store the SMOOTHING FACTOR value in table 099. CASP/2100, /2200, /2300 and /2500, with software 7.x store the SOOTHING FACTOR value in table 098.
