LabVIEW
simple moving average block diagram
Solved!
This seems like very clumsy code. For example if you later want to average more or fewer elements, you would basically need to rewrite the code from scratch. It is not scalable! Why would you need six diagam constants (DBL zero)? All you need is one and branch the wire. Why would you wire N of the FOR loop when autoindexing over the array? This is very crude beginner code that will only teach you bad habits. 😞
If you don't have access to the "ptbypt mean", you can make your own. Here is an old example (see lower part of code. The ptbypt version above it is just used to show that it gives the same result)
Try to implement it. To change the number of points to average, all you need to do is change a single integer. Since the mean does not care about the order of elements in the buffer, all you need is replace the oldest with the newest at each iteration, no need for rotating or shifting, etc.
If you only want results that contain the average of 10 values, your output array will be shorter accordingly.
My code starts averaging with the first element, so the first output would be the first input, the second output would be the average of the first and second input, etc. etc. and the last value would be the average of the last N point.
