performing an fft with specific frequency resolution

I have a 24 kHZ signal that was sampled for 16 seconds. When I take the fft I have a delta f of about 0.06 Hz. What I really need is to be able to see the data with a frequency resolution of something like 3.75 Hz as a part of order analysis. I realize that in order to do something like that I need to either reduce my number of samples or resample the data. Resampling has turned into a problem due to the amount of memory that it takes up. I have tried breaking the data up into chunks that will give me that 3.75 Hz resolution and then taking the ffts of each of those chunks. Now I want to take the average of all of these ffts but I am at a loss as to how to do this. Can anyone help me? Or am I just going about this completely the wrong way?

The previous is the VI with my code so far. It was attached that way due to difficulties with attachments and this website.

Hi Liz,

Perhaps you can try using shift registers on the second for loop to keep a running average of the fft.
