Rolling average
Taking the rolling average can monitor measured values.
The rolling average can be set on each computation channel.
Interval
: The data stored to the buff every interval time.
Select from 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30sec,
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60min
Number of average
: Select number of average from 1 to 64.
The same number of data buffers as number of average time are assured for
rolling average
Example: 1 minute rolling average of 10 second samples by DX112 (
Measurement period 1sec
)
Interval
: 10 second
Number of average : 6 (=60 second / 10 second)

The difference between the moving average and the rolling average
The moving average is a type of input filter, and is used to suppress the input fluctuation. The moving
average applied at the input becomes the measured data.
The rolling average is a type of computation function that performs a moving average on the input data.
It can also be used to measure the moving average of the computed result. The rolling average can be
used to determine the long-term moving average.
