This may sound like a dumb question, but I have not run across a good "plain
English" description of low-pass.  I completely understand low-pass
filtering with regards to RF and AF.  But when it comes to this stuff, I am
unsure of what it means.  I am under the impression that it is logically
related to the process of low-pass filtering AF and RF but not necessarily
physically related.  By my thinking, it is a way of obtaining a general (but
accurate) "reading" of some type of signal, without processing all the
minutia.  If someone could kindly point me to some "understandable"
description of the process along with some simple examples I would be much
appreciative.  I am thinking that I have probably incorporated this process
without "knowing" it.  To me, this is like PID a fairly simple idea with a
complex definition.
