Configure the number of averaged samples

Follow this procedure to configure the number of readings the application should use in calculating the arithmetic mean.

Note: In the procedure below, an analog point is used as an example. The procedure is the same for rate points, with the exception that the Number of Averaged Samples field appears on the Rate Averages and Integration tab in the rate Row Edit dialog box.

The Input tab in the analog Row Edit dialog box is opened through the analog table listing in the Advanced Database Editor (ADE). For general information on ADE, and further information on the analog table, refer to the Advanced Database Editor (ADE) Administrator documentation and RealTime tables, respectively.

To configure the number of averaged samples

1. Navigate to the Input tab in the analog Row Edit dialog box.

   

2. In the Number of Averaged Samples field, enter one of the following:

   • 0 (default) or 1 – Disables calculation of the average value.

   • A number from 2 to 16, inclusive – The number of curval readings to use in calculating the average value of the analog point.
