149 +The sensors output latency can be expected to be a lot shorter than the air temperature sensor as the sensor is just a variable sensor based on placement. The limiting factor for the system which uses this information is the CAN-BUS messages from the inverters which send the information each 6.25 milliseconds. This means that the cut-off frequency cannot be any lower than 160Hz, which will make the same type of low pass filter from the air temperature sensor
