Hi Marcus, Yes, the suggested combination of IIR filter and the keen one in N Block would potentially do the job. However as you pointed out, my end goal is to have a median of 4 vectors block. Also I was thinking that a direct average would be numerically less expensive than the combination of two different blocks.
Also, I’ve been trying for a few weeks to get an out of tree module to work, so am stubbornly hoping that I might figure it out. (Actually I’m hoping someone might tell me how to figure it out.) Your suggestion of returning 1 instead of vector size might solve this. I’ll give it a try. Best regards Glen > On Mar 11, 2018, at 3:23 PM, Marcus D.
