Debug still turned on? My impression was that the explicit conversion was making more places that could be probed, etc. With debugging off, I would expect identical code.

In principle, there is still an extra memory allocation of the lower DBL array while the multiplication might know how to multiply an integer with a DBL directly. No time for extensive tests at the moment ....

Yeah i remember that little nugget. I assume it allocates a new array or something. Maybe Bool to number should have configurable output like the Multiply has?

It was only suggested in 2009, give'em some time! 😉

I have no intention debugging this mess, but here's a small section that I think tries to do a rolling average.
(so what's wrong with the ptbypt version???)

The original programmer didn't see it on the pallets, didn't recognize what it does?

I'm sure I have made something like this with shift registers, when I was using LV 5.0 and was new to LabVIEW.
