Need to filter out ornithopter's voltage input signals from load cell!

[Ecibob]

Hey guys,

I'm really, really new to labVIEW and don't know how to digitally filter out signals (or hardly what it means) because when we measure the lift force coming from our micro ornithopter, we are getting way too much noise: http://i.imgur.com/W59y5.png

If you guys know of some type of tutorial for beginners or any type of help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Ecibob,

1. You can post images (PNG or JPEG) directly to your thread here.  Many people cannot or will not follow external links to look at images.  Use the Insert/edit image button in the toolbar at the top of the edit window.

2. There are on-line tutorials which will help you get started with LabVIEW.

3. What part of those signals is noise and what is real force? Turbulence, vibrations in the device, and other things could make all of this real.  How are these signals measured?  Do you have any kind of signal which can be used to synchronize with the motion of the wing?
