Let's say I want a running average (moving average) over 0.5 seconds of the amplitude from a bandpass filter. How do I do that? Do I use the bandpass filter amplitude as the input to a ScalarTransform, with the time period 0.5 seconds and the processing function "average"?

If not that, then how?

(Is the "average" of a ScalarTransform a running average, or would the setting I describe just give me a readout each half-second of the average of the previous half second? If the latter, then how do I get a moving average?)

And does the filter delay of the bandpass filter come into play here somehow?

Thank you.

Yes, you use TimeTransform with 0.5 seconds time period. With all default settings unchanged, this is running average.

To use it with filter, connect it to its second output: Amplitude.

The delay is only for your information about how responsive the filter is. So no, it has nothing to do how to average the output signal.

Hi Jarek,

Quick, clear and exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Thanks!
