How to find average time taken by the data?

[prabesh99]

I am using a Thorlabs power meter to measure power. I use LabVIEW in order to control it.

Now the question is how can  I find out the average time taken by the data. for example, it measures 4.145 E-5 at 0 sec, 4.148 E-5 at 0.055 sec, 4.141 E-5 at 0.061 sec, and so on. Here, the time interval between the 1st data point is 0.0055, and the second data point is 0.01 sec. 

now I need the average time interval to say 1 sec so that power also should be average. suppose, I need data of 0, 1s,  2s, and so on and the power should also be on average.  

I have attached my code as well as the data.

Average time per point would be (final time - start time)/number of data points

Dear RavensFan,

I am sorry. I didn't get you. Could you please explain this to me further?

No, you did not attach any code or data.

All we got are some images showing only portions of the code/data…

Why did you tag your message with all those names?

Please provide example data and also provide an expected result for those example data!

I have attached my code below. I cannot attach my data so I attached the pic of my data. I hope you will understand. Let me clear it, as you can see the time interval and measured power in right side of column in the attached picture. Now, I need the averge time interval of 1 sec and the power should also be average taken by this average time interval. 

thank you

I am sorry. I forget to attach the pic.

Why can't you attach the data file? Use ZIP…

Collect the data in an array. When 1s has elapsed you calculate the mean of the array and start over with an empty array…

hi

how can I get the average value every 10 data?

[prabesh99]

I am using LabVIEW to measure the power of light. I can plot the power vs time. Now I want to get the average value of every 10 data in a waveform chart and save it.

Hi prabesh,

collect 10 samples, average them. Collect next 10 samples, …

What have you tried?

Where are you stuck?

Why do you need to ask the same question in two threads?

Why don't you attach your VI?
