smoothing a digital input

[programmindragon]

I have a digital input coming from a third party device, LawsonLabs Model 301.  It is an analog to digital converter converting a voltage and sending me a number.

This voltage is not as steady as I would like it to be so I've looked around to find a vi that does some kind of averaging.  I know that I can easily achieve this myself by taking some samples and averaging them.  I wondered if NI would have a vi that does this, though.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Look for the decimation vi in the examples.

How about the Mean function?

Depending on your signal noise maybe also the median filter is worth mentioning.

Search the examples for  Median Filtering.vi

I'd suggest to use the vi "Mean ptbypt". There you can define the number of samples to be averaged.
