It can also be set to block values more than a certain distance away from the present value.
This can be used to remove outliers or unexpected readings.
The narrowband modes will block if the incoming value change is greater than + or - the band gap
away from the previous value. Useful for ignoring outliers from a faulty sensor for example.
You can specify compare with *previous valid output value* or *previous input value*.
The former ignores any values outside the valid range, whereas the latter allows
