Re: saving samples

[Ralph Lange <ralph.lange@gmx.de>]

One of the functionalities of the compress record is acting as a ring buffer (for scalar values).

For arrays it can do averages. Either average over time, i.e. multiple array samples - like a scope - or average over multiple elements. If you combine two compress records after e.g. a temperature that gets updated every second, you can - in the first step - have a 3600 element time buffer over the last hour, then - in the second step - do a 60:1 average and have a 60 element buffer of the temperature averages of the last 60 minutes.

save in another PV the last sample (scalar) (or more samples) of other PV that is updated periodically.

this is for example: i have the temperature of a room being updated periodically. I want another PV to act as a buffer that stores the last two samples of the room's temperature . And i want to be able to acess them individually of course.

Thanks!

Please clarify a bit further.

What do you mean by "save"?

Write to a file? Store in an archiver? Write to another record?

What kind of PV?

Scalar or array data?

If array: does "last" mean last array in time, or last element in array?

What is the easiest way to save periodicaly the last sample (or last 2/3 samples) of a certain PV ?
