Hi there
First time user here. I have a really silly question, but cannot seem to figure it out. I have a program that collects data using two different WHILE loops. The innermost WHILE loop (the "second") scans our device over predefined data points at constant incriments (say, 5 equally spaced data points).
The outermost WHILE loop (the "first") repeats the innermost WHILE loop a number of times, to reduce noise.
Here's the tricky bit: for each successive iteration of the innermost while loop, it scans fewer and fewer data points (eg for i=0 it scans 5 points, and for i=1 it scans 4 points, and for i=2 it scans 3 points and so on).
For visualization purposes, we are interested in seeing the scans as a function of index, averaging each points as they go (not when the innermost is completed, but one at a time).
What I am trying to do is get a visual representation of the averaging on a continuous basis. If averaging would not be in place, here's some example numbers (outermost WHILE loop comes before colin):
0: 1, 2, 3, 3, 0
1: 5, 2, 0, 2
2: 9, 2, 7
3: 5, 2
4: 4
This is easy enough. Using the same numbers, but averaging as we go,
0: 1, 2, 3, 3, 0,
1: 3, 2, 1.5, 6, 0
2: 6, 2, 4.25, 6, 0
3: 5.5, 2, 4.25, 6, 0
4: 4.75, 2, 4.25, 6, 0
It is important that the rescans average each individual point as they go. Does this make sense? Sorry for the crude technology. Thank you so much everybody.
