==Increased filter order==
==Increased filter order==
The order of the filter affects the steepness of its roll-off. The higher the order, the sharper the transition between the pass band and the stop band. An example demonstrating the impact of the filter order is shown below.

For the high pass and low pass filters, the filter order can be selected from 1 to 40 in Office mode, and from 1 to 10 in Connected mode now. In the previous NVGate version, the maximum filter order is 6.

For the band pass and band stop filters, the filter order is 2*N, and N can be selected from 1 to 30 in Office mode, and between 1 to 10 in Connected mode now. In the previous NVGate version, the maximum value of N is 5.

==Significantly relaxed constraints on the cut-off frequency==
==Relaxed constraints on the cut-off frequency==


To guarantee the stability of the filter, there are certain constraints on the value of the cut-off frequency. Compared with previous version of NVGate, such constraints are relaxed significantly now.

For the high pass and low pass filters, the maximum value of the cut-off frequency is the input frequency range '''FR'''. The minimum value is '''FR''' / 50000 in the Office mode, and '''FR''' / 40000 in the Connected mode. In the previous version of NVGate, the minimum value is '''FR''' / 40 for the low pass filter, and '''FR''' / 400 for the high pass filter.

For the band pass and band stop filters, the low cut-off frequency ''f''<sub>low</sub> and the high cut-off frequency ''f''<sub>high</sub> need to meet the following conditions in the Office mode:
For the band pass and band stop filters, the low cut-off frequency ''f''<sub>low</sub> and the high cut-off frequency ''f''<sub>high</sub> need to meet the following conditions in the Office mode:
Line 56: Line 56:
* 0.000675 * '''FR''' ≤ ''f''<sub>high</sub> - ''f''<sub>low</sub> ≤ 0.99 * '''FR'''
* 0.000675 * '''FR''' ≤ ''f''<sub>high</sub> - ''f''<sub>low</sub> ≤ 0.99 * '''FR'''


In the previous version of NVGate, the conditions on the cut-off frequencies are:
In the previous NVGate version, the conditions on the cut-off frequencies were:


* ''f''<sub>low</sub> ≥ 0.055 * '''FR'''
* ''f''<sub>low</sub> ≥ 0.055 * '''FR'''

Now, the filters are calculated in 64-bit floating point format in Office mode, and in 40-bit floating point format in Connected mode. In the previous NVGate version, the 32-bit floating point format is used in both modes.
