The Moving Average block calculates the moving average from the input data stream over a configurable time window and sample set size. Like the Correlation Calculation block, the set of samples may be unlimited in size, or constrained by a maximum number of samples or a maximum age of samples. The Moving Average block performs a subset of the processing performed by the Data Distribution Calculator block. Consequently, execution of the Moving Average block is considerably faster than execution of the Data Distribution Calculator block.

One or both of the above parameters must be 0, in which case that limit is not imposed. It is not possible to restrict the number of samples by both age and number of samples, but it is possible to not impose any limit on the number of samples (thus an infinite set of samples is kept).
