### Average Analog The information below provides a FULL description of this microblock and all of its properties. What information you see and what you can do with it depends on your license and the application you are in, and in some cases, a controller's driver version.
Microblock family | Sys In microblocks

What it does | This microblock calculates the average of the values read from output points. The average value is the microblock's output. For example, you could use the Average Analog Properties microblock to determine the average temperature for a floor. The microblock can receive data from up to 10 addresses. You define the 10 addresses using the tree control on the Average Analog Properties microblock's Properties page.

#### Properties TIPS Alt+click any value in the WebCTRL® or Field Assistant interface to view property details, including its editing privilege and expression (location path) for use on graphics. You can right-click some properties in the EIKON® Property Editor and select Make editable or Make read-only to determine that property's functionality in your system.
Display Name | The microblock label used in the EIKON® application and the WebCTRL® interface. You can use any characters except the " character.
Reference Name RefName | Use the default reference name unless you want a more descriptive name for graphics or network links. Limitations: lower case only limited to 40 characters cannot begin with a number must be unique within a control program
Lock Present Value | Check to output the locked value from the microblock instead of the microblock's calculated value.
Editing Privilege | Preset - Each microblock property has an appropriate privilege or role assigned to it. You can use Global Modify in the WebCTRL® interface to find out what the actual privilege is. CAUTION If you change the Editing Privilege from Preset, the privilege you select will be used for all properties of this microblock, which is not always desirable.
Display resolution | The microblock's value is truncated and incrementally updated as follows: The Display resolution format is used to truncate the microblock’s actual value. For example, if you enter a value from: 0.1 to 0.9, the system displays 1 digit to the right of the decimal 0.01 to 0.99, the system displays 2 digits to the right of the decimal 1 or greater, the system displays a whole number The Display resolution value determines the increment by which the displayed value is updated. For example, if you enter: .2, the system displays 8.4, 8.6, 8.8, ... .03, the system displays 5.09, 5.12, 5.15, ... 10, the system displays 30, 40, 50, ...
Default Value | The value that the microblock outputs when communication with all specified targets fails or when Communications Enabled is not checked. The default value is used when the Valid? output is False (Off).
Communications Enabled | Check to enable network communications for this microblock. Uncheck when troubleshooting.
Refresh Time | The interval at which the microblock reads the target value. If the target is a BACnet object property: Type a value greater than 30 seconds to attempt a BACnet COV (Change of Value) subscription with the target object. If subscription succeeds, the target sends a value to this microblock only when the target's value changes by at least the target's COV Increment. If subscription fails, this microblock reads the target value at the interval you specify. Type a value of 30 seconds or less to disable BACnet COV subscription and read the target value at the interval you specify. If using v6.00a or later drivers, you can reduce network traffic by: Changing the refresh time to something greater than 10 minutes. If the refresh time is 10 minutes or less, the microblock will resubscribe every 10 minutes. If the refresh time is greater than 10 minutes, the microblock will use that value as the resubscription interval. Entering 01 in the seconds field of any value 1 minute or greater to have this microblock subscribe using only confirmed COV notifications (not unconfirmed). For example, 1:01, 5:01, etc.
