How do I take an average of some data and plot it on a graph?

[b_lee]

I cant seem to figure out how to store data into a variable. From there I want to take an average of the data and send it out to a graph. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help. Now I at least have an idea where to start. Now if I could only figure out how to get my graph to only plot the average.

just a bit confused about how the for loop is going to interact with my stuff. I have a while loop going which sampling data ten times. If I place that for loop inside of the while loop will the for loop store every single one of those points or will it only take each value and average it alone? That is where my real problem lies. How do I store each point until the while loop is finished and then average and plot?

AutoIndexing and / or Shift Registers will automatically store the data without having to create a variable until the loop is done.  This is one of the most basic concepts with LabVIEW so I am not sure what the problem is.  Also LabVIEW comes with many very good examples.

Matt,

Are you looking for Labview programming work?  We are looking for someone with process control experience and realtime monitoring via the internet.  Let me know if you are available.
