How can I exclude values from the first 5 iterations of a forloop to be included in the calculation done by the mean.vi

[JanneH]

I have done a simple vi. which main purpose is to calculate the mean value of a number of samples, using a forloop that forward the values to a mean.vi. The problem is that the first 5 loops produce incorrect values that mess up the mean values, I wonder if anyone knows a way to exclude those 5 first values from the mean calculation.

Go to the Array palette and look at the functions there. There's several that will do the trick (i.e. Array Subset, Delete From Array).

If you are doing an array, do an array subset. If you are passing
elements, do it optionally by putting the mean inside a case structure
and using something like i>=5 to determine when it is called.
