Setting the Speed Filter
The speed filter setting on the GPS 17x can help reduce unnecessary drift alarm triggers as well as potentially sporadic position information.
The speed filter averages the data provided by the GPS 17x to provide smoother position data updates. The speed filter is most helpful when
stationary or in low-speed situations.
