How does one use averaging with a for-loop?

[unclebump]

Do you want to see the data as it is collected, or can the device store all of the data and you acquire it at end of test??

I would like to see it as it's collected but if i have to do it the other way, i could do that also, whatever way is easier for me to get the averaging into the application.

I have modified your vi by adding a for loop to your Analog Input section and averaging these values. I don't have the DAQ installed at this machine so I did a conversion of the data type to get to the DBL needed by the mean vi.

I added the following after seeing your additional post.

This does not change your ability to see the averaged value for each data point "on the fly."

Can you attach this modification to a thread so i can see?

Here is an example that shows how to decimate the array if you have all of the data at one time. Set the average input to true and takes the average of the values when it reduces the array. Set the average input to false and it uses just one of the points. 7.0 format

I'm sorry. Here it is.
