Decimate(continuous) VI

[nat283]

Hey

I'm a new user of LabVIEW. Could anyone explain how the Decimate(continuos) VI works. Please find attached the Block diagram of Decimate(continuos) VI.

Thanks you.

Did you try reading the LabVIEW help?

Decimation is a way of removing data from an array.  Basically, every X samples are removed.  If you have the averaging turned on, then a filter is applied to try to clean up the waveform.  This process is very common with signal processing because it is a way of lowering the sample rate of a signal.
