11.2 Averaging

The average value for a measured value is needed for various applications
e.g. smoothing a widely fluctuating measured value (wind, pressure etc.).
Average flow velocity in a ventilation channel
Hourly or daily average values for weather data (temperature, wind, etc.)
Also for consumption values (electric current, water, gas, etc.)
The average value M for a measured variable is obtained
by totaling a whole series of measured values M i and then
dividing by the number of measured values N.
If, in function selection, averaging is selected a new selection menu will appear
listing the various averaging modes.
These include measured value smoothing for
the selected channel with a sliding averaging
window, averaging over individual measuring
operations selected by place or time, averaging
over time, over cycles, or over specified mea-
suring points. For flow sensors a special menu
for array measuring as per VDE is provided.

11.2.1 Smoothing meas values by means of a sliding average

The first method for averaging applies exclu-
sively to the measured value of the selected
channel; it is used to smooth measured values
of an unstable or strongly fluctuating nature,
e.g. especially turbulent flows, by means of a
sliding average over a specified time frame.
The level of smoothing can be set in the
function; here you specify the
Smoothing
number of measured values to be averaged (possible range 0 to 99). The
smoothed measured value can thus also be used in all subsequent evaluation
functions in combination with averaging over individual measured values (see
11.2.2) or for networked measuring (see 11.2.7).
