Appendix | Smart Averaging Smart Averaging The average function is generally used to smoothen the signal curves. With the adjustable parameter time this function can be optimal adjusted to the respective application. One disadvantage of the average function is that fast temperature peaks which are caused by dynamic events are subjected to the same averaging time.
