Beau, 

thank you very much. I now understand the idea of the code. However I got one issue left: how much samples do I have to do to get an reasonable result? I just quickly checked in excel and there, with a constant sensor input reading of 200, I need at least 25 samples to get something around 200 back. 

I am measuring a moving object (ball rolling down a 2 feet long beam). It's not fast movement, but will the SX be able to calculate this 25 samples quick enough to be able to still provide a 'live' measurement?

In theory, the algorithm can handle 218 samples, so I can handle the 25 required ones. (with DataPuffer as a WORD and a maximum sensor reading of 300, 65535/300 = 218). But sometimes the sensor skips occasionally to higher values (like 600 or even 3031, the maximum value). So should I built in a restriction first that the maximum value the sensor gives out is 300?

Would I build a for...next statement around the code and make 25 loops for 25 samples?

Thanks Beau. Lot's of questions for the genius code :)

Matthias
