It's a standard 'user friendly' description of a filter.  What people care
about is roughly where 'most' of the signal is being blocked.  Might not
be how a particular data sheet presents it, but it is pretty much the
basic standard for filter description.

Having looked at the application note provided I can see your challenge
in figuring these out!

hmm. Don't suppose you have access to what the filter design underneath actually
is?  What the tap weights are and number of stages etc? That way we could probably
(and I'm stretching back a way to remember how!) compute the frequency response
and map it to a vaguely standard form.

For others who don't feel like diving into the datasheet, it is presented
in terms of the percentage change seen when the sensor observes an
impulse (single very different value given obviously you can't actually
observe and impulse with digital sampling if we assume there isn't an
effectively analog filter going on as well).

Changing no.  Adding to yes.  If we have filters where more complex
description is needed then we extend the abi to cover them.  I'm not
convinced that is true here.  What we have is a rather 'unusual'
description of a very standard filter form (I think!)

I think there is a fairly nasty mapping to be worked out to get the
values that correspond to the existing ABI, but I'm yet to be convinced
that that ABI isn't capable of providing a useful description of these
filters.
