Counting Events

[UTPBChemistry]

I am needing to take data points in the following way: take the average of pressure readings 1 through 5, 6 through 10, 11 through 15, etc. My current method is taking shift registers and inserting into a compound arithmetic and then dividing by 5. However, this results in averages of 1 through 5, 2 through 6, 3 through 7.  Any solutions on how to utilize a counting vi to accomplish this task?

Decimate your array by 5 outside a for loop. This will split it into 5 arrays. Wire these arrays into a for loop. Do the averaging inside the loop. Wire the averages to the right edge of the foor loop with indexing enabled. Output will be an array of averages for each dataset.

I appreciate your response. Could you please clarify on how to decimate the arrays?

Try this link. I don't have labview on this computer.

Resize the block until it includes 5 output terminals.

Unclebump,

I tried your instructions with the decimating the array but I still cannot get it to work because the array system would be cyclic. I attached my file if anyone knows how ti change it. Much appreciated.

Hello UTPBChemistry:

Please see attached vi if it works.

I hope this helps.
