I need to measure the temperature using a T type thermocouple and a usb-6210. As some of you may know, this DAQ is not the best suited device for this task, but I will have to make it work for now. I used to DAQ assistance express VI to get started, but my data still had a lot of noise. Now what I am trying to do is use the time average express VI to take a moving average over time and the user can input how many data points are needed to take the average before it resets. Basically, if I have my DAQ to measure 1000 samples/s and if I set the number to data points to avg to 1000, then I would like it to average the 1000 samples every sec to come up with an average. Please let me know if the VI I have set up is a possible way of doing this. Thanks!

It seems like a simple enough application and I don't see any immediate problems that jump out from looking at your code snippet.Are you running into any problems averaging your signal or acquiring your data?

Thanks for your help but I found a much better way. I just used the mean function to average the 1000 samples I collect every second.
