Filtering signal at engine level

[MikeD]

I'm using DSC and Historical Database Logging and I have one signal that is noisy. Using hardware to filter is not practical in my setup.
I would like to be able to have some filtration on that signal at the engine level. I mean, I can use filtering vi in my application to smooth the signal for the front panel graph, but what is saved to the Citadel database has noise on it. So, when I export these data to Excel for analysis, the noise is present.

Making the deadband bigger doesn't help because if I have a slow rising (but noisy) waveform, it will be aquired like a big step.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Michel.

As there is currently no way to add averaging or filtering to the tag configuration you will have to do this in the application. Then you could write the filtered data to a memory tag to make them available in the Citadel database and to export them to Excel.
