Alex suggests averaging 8 buckets from the DEADTIME block and this is very
practical. Some other suggestions are:
First DTOPT is set to 0 (DEADTIME block) so that the input is averaged over
the duration of bucket transfers (the so called rolling average feature).
If the DEADTIME block period is at least as fast as the variable to be
averaged, then every single available sample will be considered in the
rolling average (this precision may not be required). If DT is set to 60
minutes then the 10 buckets will transfer every 6 minutes. If the average
must be updated every 1 minute then 6 DEADTIME blocks could be ganged
together, but now several CALC, SELECTOR, or SEQUENCE blocks (60 sec period)
would be needed to average 60 buckets. As required precision is not
specified, heck maybe a simple lag block would do.
