Hello, I'm pretty green to Labview. I have read 2 books on the topic, spent hours in the help section, done several related tutorials and cruised the boards for a solution to my problem already. I'm using Labview 8.2 so I can't handle many of the examples that have previously been posted. If you encode something please save it as an 8.2 or lower file. I have a digital multimeter attached via GPIB and I have used the corresponding labview program to go with the specific multimeter. This part works fine. What I need to do is to take an average (an average over 100 or 1000 measurements, if not more) that exceeds the averaging capability of the multimeter. My thought was to use the data to write a mini labview program. Take the data, put it into an array and then average the array after it gets to a specified size. So far, I can get the data to go into the 1st element of the array, but all my methods for incrementing the data to higher elements isn't working. I tried a "Signal Compression" function, to no avail. a double isn't a signal, so it refuses to give a mean output.I tried a time delayed for/while loop, but when the vi runs, the loop iterates until finished before allowing the multimeter to reaquire more data. So I get 100 data points all written to the first element of the array.I tried the "build array" function incorrectly. I have attached my vi. When running with no averaging from the multimeter, data is updated approximately every 10ms. I need to be able to take a larger average as well as perhaps have a scalable average. Thank you for your patience,Benjamin Message Edited by dark7flame on 06-02-2009 01:04 PM

LabVIEW

Solved!

Not that I know of. Mean.vi could have been used as well.
