[Greg_J]

Overview

This VI returns the current average of all values in a fixed-size FIFO buffer using array functions.

---

Description

This VI returns the current average of all values in a fixed-size FIFO buffer using array functions.

---

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

---

Steps to Implement or Execute

Run this VI and watch as the 10 most recent values from a random number generator are shifted through a fixed-size FIFO, and an average of all values in the buffer is returned during each iteration.

Works great as moving average. I'm new to LV and this made more sense than what I found looking for "moving average".

This is a good start for a moving average.

There's no need to keep checking the array size as it doesn't change.

The first 9 values will calculate average using zeros for some of the elements.
