Setting NSAM in TimeScale:mid to 2500 same as TimeScale … then It works.

One might read this behaviour in the documentation:

from: https://wiki-ext.aps.anl.gov/epics/index.php/RRM_3-14

! The retrieved array is truncated to be of length NSAM. ! Maybe that happens in the wrong place :-(

"Average takes an average of every element of the array obtained from INP over time; that is, the entire array referenced by INP is retrieved, and for each element the new average is calculated and placed in the corresponding element of the value buffer. The retrieved array is truncated to be of length NSAM. N successive arrays are averaged and placed in the buffer. Thus, VAL[0] holds the average of the first element of INP over N samples, VAL[1] holds the average of the next element of INP over N samples, and so on.”
