Input Damping
Input damping causes the Messenger 570 to react slowly to a rapidly changing input. For example, if
temperature were being monitored and the temperature probe was moved from an ice bath to a hot water
bath, a damped input would show a gradual change in temperature every 10 to 20 seconds, rather than an
instantaneous change. This option will eliminate many false alarm situations.
