Smoothing out an analog input

[blackbird307]

I am trying to make an input less jumpy. The monitored input has large spikes, and changes too fast. I am trying to smooth it out.

I am using connected components workbench.
I tried using the Average function block... but it seems to have done nothing?
I tried adjusting the analog input channel filtering but it doesn't seem to do much.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Look at post #4 from Mickey.

an obvious thing is to try to keep the signal clean as filters are manipulating the signal in phase and speed, accuracy etc.
