Yep.  That's a Mean.  The Average would be for all samples in the run.

Which is good.

Now, how about an RMS sampler? :)

Being an Audio Geek, Root Mean Square average values show a closer
representation to perceived loudness.

             /------------------
            /  --
RMS =     /   \   x^2
          /    /
        \/     --

(hows that for ascii math representation?)

Actually it isn't quite right:

RMSn1..3 = sqrt( ( Xn1^2 + Xn2^2 + Xn3^2) / n );

Where Xn is the sample number, n is the number of samples
