9.2.1.5 Prediction calculation (weighted average)
Interval with fixed
measuring interval length
The intervals follow each other consecutively at the measurement period length. The last
acquired, individual value within the generated average values has the highest weight. As
each new value is recorded, the weight of the individual values decreases (exponentially).
