Thanks to all who responded, I will whip up Matlab and se what effect will come of the FIR vs. IIR filters. If it has the filtering/freq responce(damping) I need then one could not comlain about ram usage :-) .

If you have time, then you Data is from an AD7730 ( Transducer ADC ) measuring on strain gauges in 2mV/V range. 5V AC to feed the brigde, will give me at most 10mV->24Bits input signal. Aiming for, at least, 1uV verifiable resolution. I want to cater for both high filtering application where data output should be very stable but also applications where a fast step-responce is crucial ( thats why the variable window idea ). And yes I have quite a bit of 'free' time, I dont think data processing time would pose as a problem. ( I'm more concerned over ram usage :-) ) All in all fun stuff... /Tony Tony KŸbek, Flintab AB ΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣ E-mail: tony.kubek@flintab.com ΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣΣ
